Cherry Ames: Dude Ranch Nurse

Cherry Ames: Dude Ranch Nurse
by Julie Tatham
published by: Grosset and Dunlap, inc.

Summary: Cherry Ames is a nurse working happily in Illinois when she is offered a position in Tuscon, Arizona working on a ranch with asthmatic patients. She is told it's going to be an easy job and that she'll have much of her time to herself. But when she arrives, she finds the twins to be very disagreeable as well as the tutor, Harold Bean. Patty, on the other hand, is a complete sweetheart and she and Cherry bond right away. When Patty tells of her father's death and how he left her a nest egg that's hidden somewhere, Cherry agrees to help her look for it. That's when all the trouble begins. Pranks are pulled on Cherry that start getting her in trouble with her boss, Senora. Who could be pulling these pranks on her? And why would they want so badly to get Cherry in trouble?

Personal Review: I actually liked this book and found it to be charming and engaging and fun. It was very cheesy at times but that made it all the more fun to read. I would probably recommend it to a young girl, about 12-15. I could see myself enjoying it very much when I was around that age.

Cautionary Notes: None
