Charlie Small #4 - The Daredevil Desperados of Destiny

The Charlie Small Journal #4

by Charlie Small

This fourth volume of Charlie Small's journal was found under unusual circumstances. Told of a sighting of Charlie, one of our intrepid editors packed their bags and by plane, hot air balloon and donkey, travelled to the valley where Charlie had last been seen. Charlie Small wasn't there. Our agent searched high and low and lower still. She did meet a skinny gunslinger in a bar who said he'd never heard of Charlie Small. But our editor had already spotted a familiar-looking notebook propped behind a bottle at the back of the bar. She slipped it into her pocket when the outlaw's back was turned ...and this is it!Having escaped the clutches of the evil Puppet Master, Charlie joins Wild Bob F france's gang, The Daredevil Desperados of Destiny, whose sole aim is to get rid of the outragious outlaw, Horatio Ham, and his band of hired gunslingers. Charlie, aka The Lariat Kid, brings down Ham's posse of gunslingers, takes part in a daring bank raid, is caught up in a ferocious gunfight, lands up in jail, and is about to be sacrificed to The Great Bird of Death. Will Charlie escape? Will Ham be defeated? Only by reading Charlie's extraordinary diaries will you find out ...

I think it was really good.I recommend it to other kids my age or younger.

Perfect

[Anne]

Written in the style of "diary of a Wimpy Kid" this is an excellent choice for reluctant readers and/or boys. Drawn and written as Charlie's journal/diary, we learn of his adventures, this time as a cowboy/outlaw. He joins up with Wild Bob Ffrance to help rid a town of its greedy and mean bully of a mayor, Horatio Ham. Lots of action, humor, and adventure.

La primera vez que lo leí tenía unos 8 años, y me entretuvo mucho, gracias a este libro empecé a desarrollar un pasatiempo y amor hacia la lectura.
De tantas veces que lo he leído he llegado a perder la cuenta, y hasta la fecha sigo leyéndolo ya que le tomé mucho cariño.
