Stories of the Wild West Gang
Book 1
From the Series Stories of the Wild West Gang
This omnibus volume of stories is destined to become a family read-aloud favorite. This is not the “wild west” we’re used to hearing about—this is the West family whose adventures have both inventiveness and innocence. The Wests are everything cousin Michael is not allowed to be—noisy, crazy, and very, very messy.

School Library Journal
“Set in New Zealand, but loaded with universal appeal, these zany tales will please fans of goofy family stories. Pye’s lively black-and-white pencil illustrations enliven the first page of each new adventure.” —School Library Journal

“For their part, young readers will enjoy the episodic nature of the stories while relishing the vicarious thrills of a helter-skelter family who favor fun over fastidiousness.” —Booklist Online
Kirkus Reviews
“Episodic enough to dip in and out, this New Zealand import charms in small bites.” —Kirkus Reviews
