Product Details


Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

The writer who gave Jonathan Livingston Seagull his wings returns with a fourth installment of the Ferret Chronicles (Rescue Ferrets at Sea, etc.), this time focusing on a Montana ranch where "ranchpaw" Monty Ferret has a bittersweet parting with his childhood love, Cheyenne Jasmine Ferret. Monty and Cheyenne grow up together on the ranch. He has a way with animals and tries to teach her the patience to communicate with them. But her passion is for the movies, and as soon as she can, Cheyenne leaves the ranch for Hollywood and becomes a star. Monty, for his part, has an encounter with a mystical philosopher ferret who teaches him to get in touch with his "highest self." Inspired by her teachings, he starts a riding school, where he teaches kids how to lose a race ("they practiced all the ways to be graceful in defeat"), makes an audio recording of inspirational teachings and opens a sheep farm. Though Monty and Cheyenne are apart for years, their love only grows stronger, leading them back to each other. Heartfelt and earnest, this fable lacks the humor of Bach's Writer Ferrets Chasing the Muse. The story of the almost-star-crossed lovers, short on complexity and conflict, never really catches fire. Still, the characters are endearing, and Bach teaches some admirable lessons about self-acceptance and love for one's fellow ferrets that both adults and children can appreciate. Illus. by the author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Special story, Oct 1 2003
By Harriet Klausner - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
On earth Shamrock Ferret has always answered questions almost from the day she was born so it is not surprising that she especially enjoys responding to those inquiries that seem impossible to obtain a reply. Her upbringing became her work and her skills have earned her a reputation as a successful sleuth. What Shamrock does is sit in the Cases Unsolved Chair to ponder the puzzle until she finds the solution.

Having just succeeded in solving the Case of the Curious Patterns for local farmers she accepts a partnership with Mr. Burroughs. However, she also begins her most difficult mystery. She "sees" a forlorn ferret hopelessly moaning on a dying world seeking someone or some way to save the survivors of the Ferret war that has devastated his people. Sitting in her chair she begins to wonder if this vision is a shadow from the past reaching out to her for help.

Besides the cleverly designed time paradox (not explained here), readers will appreciate Richard Bach's latest tale that clearly cries for give peace a chance. The story line focuses on Shamrock and her use of logic, psychometry, cryptography, and patterns to solve mysteries. Yet with all this Mr. Bach insures his audience understands his message that war is a last resort not a first preemptive strike because of the full impact on the innocent reminiscent of as Animal Farm in relation to Communism.
