The newspapers call Maude "notorious" and "wild." But twelve-year-old Sallie March knows her big sister didn't do all the things the stories say--not on purpose anyway. In fact, she and Maude have made a fresh start with their uncle Arlen and are trying to live on the up-and-up. Maude's even started wearing skirts again!
But just when the girls are settling into their new life, Maude (aka "Mad Maude" if you believe the papers) is arrested! And before you can say "jailbreak" the orphaned sisters are back on the run!
On the unforgettable adventure that follows, Sallie discovers some surprising truths. Like, heroes aren't just folks in stories but can be the person you least expect, riding right next to you. And that it's love, not blood, that really makes someone family.
In this sequel to the critically acclaimed The Misadventures of Maude March, Newbery Honor winner Audrey Couloumbis once again takes us on a dizzyingly fast-paced, delightfully rowdy, and altogether heartwarming ride through the Old West--proving beyond a doubt that half the fun of any journey is the getting there.
