25 Jun 2009 HANK THE COWDOG 4 Murder in the Middle Pasture
 |  Category: Action, Funny, Mystery, scary  | Leave a Comment

There’s been a brutal murder on the ranch, and it’s up to Hank the Cowdog, Head of Ranch security, to find out what’s going on. I’ve read alot of these books and I’m amazed that the writer & illustrator have written more than 50 of these books. That’s cool.

The author’s name is John Erickson & the illustrator’s name is  Gerald Holmes. The book was 120 pages long, and I loved it.

This book is about Hank the cowdog and his girlfriend Beulah the collie, and how Plato the bird dog tries to get the great white quail but when he goes missing it’s hank’s responsibility to get him back. In this new action packed book Hank needs to quit worrying about looking for Plato & start worrying about saving his butt!! This isn’t the best Hank book I’ve read but if you like funny stories check it out.

10 Feb 2009 Nancy Drew: The Fake Heir
 |  Category: Mystery  |  Tags: , ,  | Leave a Comment

The author’s name is Stefan Petrucha &  illustrated by Daniel Vaughn Ross.

The mystery in this story is is Mr. Druthers dead.

I liked the book because it was a mystery & it was full of pictures, because it’s a graphic novel. (And graphic novels are cool because they are kind of like commic books.) The only thing bad about this book is it was kind of slow…. It needed more action.
