A boy wakes up one morning to discover that he's now living in a very ODD world, indeed! The alarm clock only shows ODD numbers; he only has one sock and one shoe to wear; his new shirt has 3 sleeves, and his poor dog has five legs! It didn't get any better at school, either, with only odd numbers on the calendar and a math teacher with five hands and an alligator tail! And so continues his very ...

The Gringo Kid

5 reviews

Forgotten Trails., 1998

A wonderful journey into a time warp!
Whether you are a reader of westerns (I'm not) or a James Ellroy fan (I am), you will be caught immediately by this disarming narrative of honor and courage. The time is 1940, but it might as well be 1880. This is the old southwest as it must have been...as I like to think it was. I didn't want this book to end.
