Long ago, a lone little burro roamed the high cliffs of the Grand Canyon and touched the hearts of all who knew him: a grizzled old miner, a big-game hunter, even President Teddy Roosevelt. Named Brighty by the prospector who befriended him, he remained a free spirit at heart. But when a ruthless claim-jumper murdered the prospector, loyal Brighty risked everything to bring the killer to justice. Brighty's adventures have delighted generations of readers, and he has become the symbol of a joyous way of life. Some people say that you can even see his spirit roving the canyon on moonlit nights-forever wild, forever free. Recommended for ages 8 to 12.

Reviewed by Rebecca (Great Falls, MT), February 24, 2009 My 10 year old just ate it up, he really liked it. It's a great kids book that has a bit of suspense and trouble, but a great character to follow all the way through. Write a review of Brighty of the Grand Canyon
