I love
this one. Such a welcome change from Transformers, Batman, Spiderman and all the other characters my boys have had a fixation on over the past decade.
It is exactly what you would expect. Young Tom Mason sits on a rock and waits to wave to his brother, who is due to pass by. He's Bill and he drives the stagecoach. But hang on a second, here it comes, but the drivers seat is empty!
Luckily, the Lone Ranger and Tonto are not too far away.
"Listen Tonto!" the Lone Ranger cried. "That youngster's in trouble!" It transpires that a dastardly gang have stolen the stagecoach with its cargo of gold and seem to think they have got away scot free....
"That may not be their fire," the Lone Ranger said. "But if it is, those varmints are mighty sure of themselves. Let's check."
They do a whole lot more than check! They ambush and catch those filthy, no-good thieves! Excellent stuff. For ages four and up.
Elsewhere in the house is more edge of the seat material.
This is currently on sale in Tesco for under seven euros and I am looking forward to getting stuck in. I've just finished my annual re read of this,
and am hoping it will be a move from the sublime to the ridiculously exciting.
And here we have an actual Origami Yoda...
Do you have kids aged eight and up who have not read
this series? Well, you shouldn't.
