"Penniless Ralph is hired by a wheat harvesting crew and builds a hauling business. This book is just as good as all the others, especially with the big plot twist in the middle." — Stephanie (4 out of 5 stars)

" I didn't like this book as much as I've liked the other books in the series. The 1st 6 chapters were really hard to get through - after that it was a very enjoyable read. "
" The best biographical series ever written = an amazing child and man. All of the series is a must read. "
" Read aloud with the family. Very enjoyable, fun story. "
" Like I say all the Ralph Moody books are good for homegrown stories. When I feel like a real story of what life was like in the past I'll pick up one of his books. "
" I have never read a book where everything goes right for the main character until this book....which made it very boring. I still don't know why everyone liked the main character. I thought he was bosy and a know it all. "
" Another great book in the series! I couldn't quite believe some of the risks he took- It scared me enough just reading about it! "
" Probably one of my favorites in the series. "
" I love Ralph Moody and the Little Britches stories, but this one just didn't do it for us. Hoping the next one is better. "
Ralph Owen Moody (1898–1982) was an American author who wrote 17 novels and autobiographies largely about the American West, though a few are set in New England. He was born in East Rochester, New Hampshire in 1898 but moved to Colorado with his family when he was eight in the hopes that a dry climate would improve his father Charles's tuberculosis. Moody detailed his experiences in Colorado in the first book of the Little Britches series, Little Britches: Father and I Were Ranchers. After his father died, eleven-year-old Moody assumed the duties of the “man of the house”. He and his sister Grace combined ingenuity with hard work in a variety of odd jobs to help their mother provide for their large family. The Moody clan returned to the East Coast sometime after Charles's death. After a period as livestock business owner in rural Kansas, Moody married and moved to Kansas City. Ralph and Edna Moody had three children.
