 Slow At Parts, but a Great Story February 7, 2003
I originally started this book for a book report in highschool, but I quickly found that it wasn't as dull as I thought it was going to be. This turned out to be my first lesson in, you can't always judge a book in the first 20 pages.Altohugh the novel started out a bit slow, and occasionaly got lost in over whelming discription I found that I couldn't put it down. I wanted to see how Susan's adventures ended. I fell in love with her character as she was strong, and smart, and someone who never gave up without a fight. She follows her heart, and pursues the things that are important to her while she strives to do what she feels is right no matter what others might think or the danger that she might be in.
 A Wild West Tale for Girls! May 1, 2000
Susan Carlisle has lost both of her parents and is about to lose her home that is unless she comes up with enough money to pay off her father's debts! Susan schemes a cattle driver into coming and driving her sheep all the way out west to help payoff the money! You will like Susan because she is one spunky and determined girl! The adventures she goes though to get that money will make the book unable to be put down! As well as getting Clay Carmer a cattle drover to fall in love with her. Even though this book is told from two point's of view (Clay's and Susan's) this is probably a books girls would enjoy more than boys though it is easy for anyone to get hooked!
excellent book April 19, 2000
This was an excellent book and I recommend this book to anyone who wants a bit of spicy romance, and adventure. I loved Susan's cocky and witty personality. All the characters are extremely interesting and the humor is funny. You'd love Clay Carmer, the Texas cowboy and how he saves Susan from being raped. Please you HAVE to read this book!

I think that Walking Up a Rainbow is a very good book.It was an excellent story of a young girl as she faces the dangers and wonders of the western trail.It has a lot of excitment in it and the charaters are fantastic!You have not afraid of anything,won't be stopped by anyone,this is my home I'm going to defend it Susan and the outgoing yet careful,out for new ideas Mrs.Dessery.While all of the action is happening you also have a love story in the makings.The brillant Clay who saves the day more than once.I just think that it is a great book and I strongly suggest you take time and read it.
