Ricky Smootz dreads starting middle school. He and his best friend, Fred Bologna, just know they are targets for bully Keanu Dungston and his henchmen.
When Ricky turns to his beloved Grandma for advice, she reminds him his great, great, great third cousin was a cowboy whose specialty was running bullies out of Dodge. So when Keanu wedgies him on the first day of school, Ricky summons the courage of his ancestor, finds an old Halloween costume, and becomes . . . Cowboy Boy!
Perfect for reluctant readers, especially fans of 'Captain Underpants', this kooky story and artwork deal with bullying at school.
