Motherless Dave Brandt, when he is nearly thirteen, moves from his Chicago home to Wyoming ranch where his father lives with his new wife. A rabid horse enthusiast, Dave is delighted; but problems of adjustment to his new stepbrothers and sisters, as well as the difficulties presented in going to a country school, temporarily complicate his life, and provide the story with ample adventure, both in terms of internal and external action. A book for horse enthusiasts, Tall in the Saddle incorporates the western atmosphere into a realistic story of emotional adjustment.
