During the summer of his twelfth year he works on a cattle ranch in the shadow of Pike's Peak, earning a dollar a day. Little Britches is tested against seasoned cowboys on the range and in the corral. He drives cattle through a dust storm, eats his weight in flapjacks, and falls in love with a blue outlaw horse. Following Little Britches and developing an episode noted near the end of Man of the Family , The Home Ranch continues the adventures of young Ralph Moody. Soon after returning from the ranch, he and his mother and siblings will go east for a new start, described in Mary Emma & Company and The Fields of Home . All these titles have been reprinted as Bison Books. Review: Perhaps the very best of the series - What a grand adventure for a 12 year-old boy to work in a real man's job, earning a real man's salary, working for a cattle rancher/trader Mr. Batchlet. Moody skillfully portrays the cast of characters who compose the ranch crew and the owner's daughter Hazel who is a commanding figure in the book and in Ralph's young heart. This is a never to be forgotten look at a old west that was rapidly changing and would soon be forever altered, but here it is preserved forever for our enjoyment and education. But is is more than an interesting story or an enlightening look at a historical time, it is a sotry that reads like a novel, and yet carries the authority of truth while embodying timeless values and demonstrating how character is formed and maintained. A delight for the whole family and as with nearly all of Ralph Moody's books it retains the read-a-loud quality that makes these stories so treasured among those who still read in the family circle. Review: Great series of books - My husband and son (6years old) are reading his book at bedtime. They have read all the books in the series so far. I get to listen in and read when my husband is not home. I think he looks forward to reading these as much as my son. Here's what I'm getting as an outsider... Pros: Well written, about authors life as a boy Lots of life lessons (especially about hard work) Good next step after Laura ingalls series Enjoyable to read out loud Cons: None Be warned some of the issues covered in the book are deep and tough and lots over my six year olds head. But the book is wholesome and he (we) is completely enjoying it nonetheless. Start with " Father and I Were Ranchers" and enjoy the series all the way through. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #70,851 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #44 in Animal Husbandry (Books) #608 in Contemporary Literature & Fiction #1,344 in Westerns (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 357 Reviews | ## Images ![The Home Ranch - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91AhTMpDTnL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perhaps the very best of the series *by T***N on September 1, 2006* What a grand adventure for a 12 year-old boy to work in a real man's job, earning a real man's salary, working for a cattle rancher/trader Mr. Batchlet.

This one is a great part of the series. It goes more in depth about his life and some of the adventures he had. Since it is all Non-Fiction it really is interesting to consider all that he did. Life is quite different now for most people and he has a good way of taking you back. I do recommend reading the other books in the series as well to get the full view of Ralph. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/8540448-the-home-ranch](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/8540448-the-home-ranch) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-07-08*
