Stories of The Wild West Gang by Joy Cowley

Michael's cousins, the West family are everything he is not allowed to be at home. They are noisy, crazy and very messy. Wherever the Wild West Gang goes, adventure is not far behind and it is always the type of adventure you don't want your parents to know about.

These ten delightful stories of Michael, the son of two parents who don't seem to like him having fun, and his cousins, whose parents have completely the opposite view. The West's days are packed with picnics, pandemonium and mayhem without a computer or electronic toy in sight.

This book will be particularly popular with boys over ten. It provides great laughs for newly confident readers, although I suspect adults will enjoy reading the book to their children too.
