Crystal's Rodeo Debut — Stephen A. Bly

What secrets will a century-old pioneer journal reveal? Crystal Blake, Shawn Sorensen, and their friends hope it will lead them to long lost treasure. They could become rich and maybe famous! And if that's not enough excitement, the high school rodeo team tryouts are this week. What chance does Crystal have against kids who were practically born on their horses? And her being the new kid in school too. Ready or not, it was Crystal’s turn to perform for the high school rodeo team tryouts. Caleb, her big, gray Appaloosa, dug in and made an incredible turn around the first barrel, almost flipping Crystal. If she kept this up, she’d have a great time score. But then, her ankle crashed against the second barrel and it rolled across the arena. Pain shot through her body. Did she break her ankle? She'd never make the team now.
