Lightning Larry is a character straight out of an old west Hollywood film. He mysteriously shows up in the town of Brimstone one day, changes everyone's life and then, just as mysteriously, rides off into the sunset. "The Legend of Lightning Larry" is one of the books every boy should have on his bookshelf; girls will probably like the story too. Aaron Shepard is the author and Toni Goffe the illustrator of this children's book.
This story is one that flows easily from one situation to the next. The language is perfect for telling the story of an unknown cowboy who shows up in a dusty western town and changes everyone for the better. The right dose of silliness is included to make both parents and children chuckle and readers will cheer for Lightning Larry as he faces Evil-Eye McNeevil and his band of rustlers.
