But when the unthinkable happens and the building is evacuated, Risha is separated from her mom. Can Ranger lead Risha to safety and help reunite her family?

Review quotes
Praise for Ranger in Time: "This excellent story contains historical details, full-page illustrations, and enough action to keep even reluctant readers engaged." — School Library Journal "The third-person narration expertly balances Ranger's thoughts between the appropriately doglike (squirrels! bacon!) and the heroic (Ranger's drive to find and protect)." — Kirkus Reviews "McMorris's richly rendered illustrations heighten the plot's many moments of danger and drama, and Messner incorporates a wealth of historical details into her rousing adventure story." — Publishers Weekly "Readers will love following Ranger on his thrilling adventure along the Oregon Trail. What a great way to learn about history!" — Lauren Tarshis, author of the I Survived series
