Mattie Ross (14 years old) loses her father when the corward, Tom Chaney, shoots him, steals his horse and all his money. She avenges her father's death by hunting down Rooster Cogburn, a US Marshal. They pursue Tom Chaney together into the Indian Territory with the desire for vengeance.

I'm so happy that I listened to this audiobook!

I loved Mattie Ross and Rooster. Our book club had such a great time and my mom and I made corn dodgers for a treat! This book is a classic western with plain and simple speech and plenty of action. There's wonderful comic relief in Mattie's seriousness and stubborn attitude.

She really was the only one with "true grit". Would recommend to any and all ages. Just a classic!

Will read and write soon!
