Cherry Ames, Dude Ranch NurseJulie Tatham
Grosset & Dunlap, Inc.
Written in 1953, this cheesy young adult novel tells the story of RN Cherry Ames who's latest adventure involves vacationing asthmatics, rowdy teenagers, and a mysterious enemy who's certain to make Cherry look incompetent. The book goes through Cherry's experiences in Tuscan, Arizona, as a nurse on a vacation dude ranch. Cherry makes friends and enemies as she gains experience from the vacationers.
WARNING: Not applicable for this book.
Personal opinion:
This is definitely an older book and it's very apparent as you're reading it. The characters are somewhat dull and predictable, as is the story. But it was most definitely different. It was was kind of nice to get away from modern young adult literature and take a look at what teens were reading fifty years ago.
