Grace Harlowe's Overland Riders in the High Sierras

Summer in the High Sierras. That's what Grace Harlowe and her Overland Riders are chasing when they saddle up for adventure in this 1920s juvenile classic. Grace, the capable and level-headed leader, has gathered her trusty band at her mountain retreat, and the excitement is electric. Then Stacy Brown bursts onto the scene, bringing chaos and comic relief in equal measure. But the trip takes an immediate turn when gunshots ring out in the night, and suddenly this summer expedition becomes something far more dangerous. The Sierras aren't just beautiful mountains - they're full of mystery, threat, and the unknown. Chase writes with period-perfect energy, capturing the thrill of young people testing themselves against the wild and winning. It's wholesome, it's rollicking, and it delivers exactly what adventure fiction should: the open road, loyal friends, and the promise that courage matters.
