He seemed very cold, tough and had that "leave me alone" attitude. At first I wasn't too sure about him at all. The new character in here, another boy their family takes in temporary, is Troy. He was being more fair while he brought needed skills to the story.

And while he was a little grumpy or suspicious in here it wasn't too bad at all. It drove me nuts and I do think it had badly affected the story. And I must say I definitely enjoyed this one a lot more! Why? Because in the first book, Ghost Horses, Jack had been just SO super annoying! He had kept complaining about the other boy his family had taken in. This is the second book I have read in this series now that is set in the National Parks. So I read this on the way to and from the horse ranch this morning (and I am glad I brought a book with me as my driver decided to take a longer detour).
