When Ima Hogg's father leaves her in charge of her younger brother Tom, trouble starts across the Hogg farm. With raging buffaloes, outraged ostriches, and angry elephants, Ima has her hands full, but it's up to her to put an end to the stampede and save her brother from the mess he's made. Based on real-life characters in Texas history, this book is an exciting adventure for all readers.
