Containing the books Ruth Fielding at Silver Ranch and Ruth Fielding on Cliff Island, this volume continues the trials and tribulations of a young girl, Ruth Fielding, an orphan who goes to live with her miserly uncle, Jabez Potter, and his housekeeper, Aunt Alvirah Boggs, who is nobody’s relative, but everybody’s aunt. Uncle Jabez reluctantly provides for Ruth and never expresses any kind of love for her, while Aunt Alvirah loves her like a daughter. Ruth is determined to stand on her own and become independent of her uncle, but she has many obstacles to overcome. * * * * Ruth, Mary Cox, Jennie Stone, and the Camerons take up Jane Ann Hicks’ invitation to visit her Uncle’s ranch out West in Ruth Fielding at Silver Ranch, where the excitement starts quickly: the girls are charged by a bull, a wild-fire breaks out, a stampede begins, and many other dangerous situations arise.
