I love western stories and I'll definitely have to see if this is something my brother might be interested in as well. Glad you liked it!

Helen Hemphill, the author of The Adventurous Deeds of Deadwood Jones (Front Street, November, 2008), and I were surprised by how few kids knew much of anything about cowboy days and the Wild West while we were doing her book tour. Maybe with terrific YA novels especially targeted to boys now, the tide will shift...maybe Gunsmoke and The Lone Ranger will make a comeback. This book looks like a delightful way for kids to connect to that part of US history! Natasha,
