Description:

Scout Moore, the ever-adventurous ranger of her own backyard, takes on Great Smoky Mountains National Park in her latest outdoor adventure. Scout and her family go on an epic quest for the "sacred harp" in one of America's greatest parks. Along the way, they spot giant elk and slithery salamanders, befriend a local girl by the name of Jolene, hike the trails, and go for a dip in a swimming hole. In the end, they discover that the "sacred harp" is something that can only be found within and is best when shared with others. Join the adventure to find out more.

Review Quotes: When Scout Moore travels to the Great Smoky Mountains with her brother Wesley and their parents, they have all sorts of adventures: blacksmithing, seeing wildlife like elk and fireflies, camping, making s'mores, and meeting a little girl named Jolene with a butterfly on her nose (a cute nod to Tennessee native Dolly Parton).

But they also learn some valuable lessons while searching for the Great Smoky Mountains' mysterious "sacred harp" -- to find the beauty in nature as well as in one's self.

The illustrations by Jeffrey Ebbeler are absolutely adorable, filled with lots of color and animation. Author Theresa Howell does a great job of creating a sweet story filled with educational and inspirational messages in "Scout Moore, Junior Ranger: Great Smoky Mountains," due out July 1. This book, as well as the others in the Scout Moore Series, will become instant family favorites.

Five stars out of five.
