Adèle Geras
Illustrated by Sue Heap

5-8 Infant/Junior
Buy "Gilly the Kid (Yellow storybooks)" on Amazon

Gilly the Kid is a determined baddie-catcher and Biscuit, the pony, is a long-suffering team mate on the trail of prime suspect, Harry Hiram. Finally Sasparilla Suzie, Widow Ruby and Dozy Rosie can rest assured that the real culprit has been cornered - and oldest resident, Whiskery Pete, can resume his belief that there are still no really bad baddies in Vulture Gulch. Adèle Geras has created a neatly structured story packed with action and humour. Recently confident readers will enjoy this (from the new Macdonald Storybooks series) and quality language makes it great for reading aloud.
