Bobby Benson's B-Bar-B Riders #17

When wolves, jaguars, and pumas start mysteriously herding cattle away from the B-Bar-B ranch, Bobby Benson ventures into the Texas canyons to uncover the truth behind these strange rustlings. Tracking a wounded jaguar cub and her protective mother, Bobby stumbles upon a hidden operation that defies all logic—but a crucial clue hidden in worn leather may just crack the case wide open. It's a mystery that sends Bobby on a desperate chase through wind-eroded rocks with far more at stake than stolen livestock.

When a Hollywood film crew shoots a Western on location near the B-Bar-B Ranch, a stunt man is killed during what's supposed to be a safe scene—and Bobby Benson begins to suspect the accidents plaguing the production are anything but accidental. As director Stone pushes ahead with an elaborate battle sequence despite the mounting dangers, Bobby uncovers a sinister plot that puts everyone on set in mortal peril. With Windy Wales and Tex Mason at his side, Bobby races to stop a catastrophe before Stone's scheme claims more lives.

When Bobby Benson and his pal Pudge Kelly head into the mountains for a week-long Scout camping trip, their wilderness getaway becomes a nightmare when escaped convicts stumble upon their camp and force them to guide a desperate journey south. Armed with nothing but his Scout skills and quick thinking, Bobby must outwit the hardened criminals while keeping himself and Pudge alive in the untamed landscape. It's survival, cunning, and Scout ingenuity against ruthless men with everything to lose.

Bobby Benson's companion discovers that his natural voice bears an uncanny resemblance to a mosquito's drone—a fact that Paul Bunyan had mentioned in passing. When a particularly troublesome mosquito threatens their camp, he devises an unconventional solution using his dictionary and his distinctive voice to lure the insect into a false sense of security. It's a clever bit of quick thinking that proves just how useful a man of words can be out on the range.
