Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Long ago, a lone little burro roamed the high cliffs of the Grand Canyon and touched the hearts of all who knew him: a grizzled old miner, a big-game hunter, even President Teddy Roosevelt. Named Brighty by the prospector who befriended him, he remained a free spirit at heart. But when a ruthless claim-jumper murdered the prospector, loyal Brighty risked everything to bring the killer to justice.

Brighty's adventures have delighted generations of readers, and he has become the symbol of a joyous way of life. Some people say that you can even see his spirit roving the canyon on moonlit nights-forever wild, forever free.

Review:

Philadelphia Inquirer

"An exciting tale... fun to read aloud."

I loved this book as a child, and as an adult I appreciate the accurate depictions of the Grand Canyon. I also loved her other horse-related books. All were beautifully illustrated by Wesley Dennis.
