When her father accepts a job at the Schafer Meadows
Ranger Station in Montana’s Great Bear Wilderness,
Jessie Scott, 12, is devastated. She has to leave
her best friends in New Mexico for a life without TV,
cell phones, the Internet, or even electricity. Jessie
feels her dad has taken everything important from her
except her dog, Oriole.
After traveling for 20 miles on horseback to reach the
Schafer Meadows Ranger Station, Jessie and her family
immediately make friends with the U.S. Forest Service
workers there, but they also meet some unpleasant
characters who make life difficult.
Schafer Meadows presents fun and challenging adventures
for Jessie and Oriole. Together they explore their new
home as Jessie seeks answers to strange happenings,
stolen food, and a ghost that won’t leave her alone.

Praise for The Ghost of Schafer Meadows:
“Ms. Hodder’s story depicts life in a remote ranger
station and describes a child’s connection to the
outdoors…that connection has all too often been lost.”
---Abigail R. Kimbell, Chief, U.S. Forest Service
“Beth Hodder captures the heart of readers with her
strong characterizations and her obvious zest for the
great Northwest wilderness. With bold honesty, Hodder
accurately portrays the highs and lows of a teen who is
suddenly taken from her friends and the convenience of
city life and placed in what many would call hardship
conditions. The Ghost of Schafer Meadows is a
good coming-of-age read for anyone interested in outdoor
life, adventure and solid family connections.”
---Mary E. Trimble, Author of Rosemount and
McClellan’s Bluff |
