P.K. Pinkerton and the Pistol-Packing Widows

I like the whole series. I read it with my son. It's not a great example of perfect report style grammar. But the writing is solidly in character all the time. It doesn't jump perspective like some other not so good children stories. I really love that it has a main character with what could be called a disability. And it doesn't really gimmick that up. It's just part of the character. And the character finds techniques to overcome it. Just awesome.That it's set in Virginia City, which is a relatively close, awesome ghost town is fantastic. If I had more ambition I would comb the books and make a map to follow next time we're there.That there are "cameos" of actual figures of historical significance, great.Creative, and all the hard work of making it cohesive and immersive is something I truly, really, deeply appreciate. Especially in a book I can share with my child.Re-reading some of my old favorites with my son, well I'm horrified at the misogyny, and lack of effort to engage with the reader as someone of intelligence (I'm not saying genius, but c'mon, kids are not dumb).

great

My son goes to a lazy public school that has no assigned books, kids choose what they want and take a test on AR book finderTo prove they read the books. These books seem below his level but they qualify and are worth decent points and he read all of them quickly. That’s all I can offer.
