Carolyn Brown has outdone herself this time. I absolutely loved this book and think it is one of her very best. Longhorn Canyon Ranch is a working ranch that Cade Maguire, his brother and ranch foreman open up to a small group of 8 inner city kids ages 10 - 12 for five weeks a year to teach them leadership and how to work as a team . They come with attitude plus and manage to go home friends. You can't help but fall in love with Benjy who is a high functioning autistic child who lives with his great grandmother.
