520			_a"Skyrider" by B. M. Bower is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set around the Rolling R Ranch near the Mexican border and revolves around the character of Johnny Jewel, a young ranch hand with aspirations of becoming a pilot. The novel's themes explore ambition, rivalry, and the intersection between dreams and reality as Johnny grapples with both his romantic interests and his yearning to fly. The opening of the book introduces the reader to a lively atmosphere amidst the ranch hands. After an embarrassing moment involving his poetry being publicly mocked, Johnny Jewel's frustrations are compounded by his conflict with Mary V, a spirited young woman and the daughter of the ranch owner. While he dreams of flying and becoming a "skyrider," his efforts are met with teasing from his peers. The dynamic between Johnny and Mary V sets the stage for a tale of humorous confrontations and unacknowledged feelings, while also hinting at larger aspirations and the potential for real conflict within the Texas landscape they inhabit. The story promises a mix of adventurism and romantic tension as the characters navigate their challenges and ambitions. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
