Cloyd is a fourteen-year-old trouble maker.  His parents had died
and his grandmother on the Indian reservation could no longer
control him and he had run away from the group home several time.
 His social worker decides a summer on a ranch in the mountains
with a widowed elderly man would be just the thing for him.  Well,
they hit it off and help each other out.  Neither of them talk too
much so when one day there is something that upsets Cloyd, there
is a major blow-up and they both suffer.  Finally things smooth over
and they decide to up to the mountains and check out the man's
old gold mine.  After a couple more significant problems Cloyd
begins to grow up and decide what is best for both him and the
man.  The premise of this 154 page book was similar to "The Big
Wander" but the plot was different.  I liked it as much, if not more.
