Download Shaking the Nickel Bush: Little Britches #6 AudioBook Free
Skinny and suffering from diabetes, Ralph Moody is ordered by the Boston doctor to get a far more healthful climate. Going west again is a wonderful prospect. His childhood adventures on the Colorado ranch were described in Little Britches and Man of the Family, also Bison Books. Now nineteen years old, he strikes out into new territory hustling odd jobs, facing the challenge of getting fresh milk and leafy green vegetables. He scrapes around to survive, risking his neck as a stunt rider for a movie company. With an improvident buddy named Lonnie, he camps out in an Arizona canyon and "shakes the nickel bush" by sculpting plaster of paris busts of lawyers and bankers. That is 1918, and the teenagers travel through the Southwest not on horses however in a Ford aptly named Shiftless. New readers and old will enjoy this entry in the continuing saga of Ralph Moody.
