Nellie and the Bandit — Eileen Ross

A feisty sheriff's daughter must save the day

When Desperado Dan, the meanest bandit in the West, breaks out of jail, Nellie knows exactly what to do. She has to warn her pa, who is the local sheriff. Along the way to the Cripple Creek Gold Mine, she encounters a stranger, none other than the dangerous outlaw himself! Suddenly Nellie has to gather her wits and come up with a plan to outsmart him.

This rollicking tale is made all the more fun by richly colored illustrations bustling with the spirit of the Old West.
