The Adventure Girls At K-Bar-O

The Adventure Girls books were written by Clair Blank, author of the Beverly Gray books. Not surprisingly, the books flow much like the Beverly Gray books. The protagonists are a group of girls who have named themselves the Adventure Girls, just as Beverly Gray and her friends are the Alpha Deltas. The main character is Gale Howard who has reddish brown hair like Beverly Gray and has a romance with a pilot, also like Beverly Gray.
Gale Howard, Valerie Wallace, Phyllis Elton, Janet Gordon, Madge Reynolds, and Carol Carter visit Gale's cousin Virginia Wilson in her home on her father's Arizona ranch. The girls have named themselves the Adventure Girls and plan to live up to the name during their vacation. After the girls learn to ride horseback, they take a long camping trip through very rough country. Gradually the girls become experts at roping and horseback riding, and thoroughly enjoy their vacation.
During their time in the west, the girls endure attacks by a snake and a cougar, get lost in a cave, and are kidnapped more than once by cattle rustlers. Their thrill-packed Arizona vacation ends after a final confrontation with the cattle rustlers. The girls help capture the bandits, collect a reward, and give the reward to a needy person.
