To save two cat families from nasty fates, a young cowgirl and her trusty mare must pull out all the stops!
Moxie Wyoming Woodson loves working with her horse Misty to protect innocent animals. After their latest rescue, the cowgirl invites her best friend over for a barn sleepover only to discover a feral cat and her kittens searching for safety. As Moxie takes on the responsibility of helping the young family survive, she panics when she discovers the mama cat and her kittens missing.
Hoping she can quickly track down the cute balls of fur, Moxie turns to Misty and her magical powers for help. But when she's also asked to help a colony of city cats in trouble, this courageous animal lover and her friends must launch into action. Now they have not one, but two challenging animal rescues to pull off, and the clock is ticking...
With time running out, can the brave Moxie and her devoted Misty manage a pair of daring magical recoveries, or will the helpless kittens fall victim to powerful predators?
Runaway Rescue is the second standalone book in The Adventures of Misty & Moxie Wyoming children's classic animal adventure series, suitable for readers aged 7-12. If you like intrepid heroines, bold animal rescues, and uplifting stories of kindness and compassion, then you'll love Niki Danforth's purr-fect fantasy tale.

Interview with the Author
Q - So, what makes The Adventures of Misty & Moxie series special?
A - This is a terrific page-turning book to read with children or grandchildren as young as five. And that is a big reason that illustrator Gary McCluskey and I spent more than a year working on the many pictures in this novel--one for each chapter. Gary is a very talented artist, and his illustrations are magical. As an author concerned with the writing, this was a challenging experience. The hardest part of the process--making sure the pictures matched the details in the scenes in the novel. We also spent a lot of time on the faces of Moxie and Misty, working hard to make them just right!
And for those middle grade readers used to novels, well, we figured they'd enjoy the illustrations, too!
Q - Where did you get the idea for the story?
I rode the real-life Misty for many years at the Darwin Ranch in Wyoming, and she brought me much joy. When it was time for this wonderful horse to retire from carrying guests on trail rides at the Darwin, I arranged to move her to another ranch where she could peacefully spend her golden years. There Misty met her new mistress, the real-life Moxie Wyoming, and their story inspired me to write this young readers' novel, as well as produce the audio book version. For younger children, I've published the ColorRead with Me(TM) Storybook versions of the middle grade novels.
Q - What order should I read the books in?
A - You can read the two books in this series in any order. Runaway Rescue is a stand-alone action-adventure with a plot that ties up nicely at the end. Whether it's as a Kindle eBook, paperback, hard cover, or audio book, I hope readers enjoy The Adventures of Misty & Moxie Wyoming.
