Praise and Reviews

What I love most about this book is the reader is treated to an accurate, birds eye view of the notorious James-Younger Gang as seen through the eyes of two youngsters, Luke and Jenny. These two have the ability to communicate with the spirit world and do some time traveling. Couldn't we all be so blessed. What a great way for people, especially youngsters, to learn history.

Author Gayle Martin captivates young readers with her easy to follow and understand explanations of a complex time period in American history. Riding with the James Gang is fun as well as educational. Definitely an imaginative way to introduce youngsters to the excitement of the American old west and family genealogy.
