A Wild West-set graphic novel for young readers who love crime fighting, gutsy girls - and dinosaurs! Perfect for fans of the Hilda and Lumberjanes series.
In the town of Little Spittle, there are cowgirls, dinosaurs and crime-busting adventures! Abigail, who has always dreamed of becoming a sheriff's deputy, lives on the outskirts of town with her pet dinosaur, Rootbeer. Meanwhile, Clementine, daughter of the sheriff, was born into the life of fighting crime.
But when the Bandit Queen gets hold of some strange, dark magic, it's up to Clem, Abigail and Rootbeer to team up, defeat the Bandit Queen and save their beloved town from bandits, dinomagik and undercover attacks.
In a hilarious tale of two unlikely friends, Clem and Abigail show us how bravery comes in many forms, and working together makes an unstoppable team - all while on an action-packed adventure in an incredible setting!
This rip-roaring adventure definitely gives you dinosaurs and cowgirls, but also an original and atmospheric world of bandits, magik and an entire cast of charming and boisterous characters. Lucie Ebrey's expressive and energetic artwork practically bursts out of the panels and is guaranteed to have readers rootin' (and tootin') for Clementine and my new favourite outlaw, The Sarsaparilla Kid! -- Luke Pearson, creator of Hilda

While hilarious, it also pulls at your heartstrings like the reins on a diplidocus! -- Hamish Steele, Eisner award-winning creator of Dead Endia and Dead End: Paranormal Park
