Emily's Fortune

I  enjoyed listening to this rootin' tootin' short fun novel written by Newbery Award winner Phyllis Reynolds Naylor*. Set in the olden days of the wild west, orphaned Emily wants to go live with her aunt but an evil uncle is after her inheritance. Yikes! What will Emily do? What will her helpful neighbors, Mrs. Ready, Mrs. Aim and Mrs. Fire advise? The Catchum Child Catching Services and a fellow traveler, a very clever orphan add to the suspense of this comical adventure.
