Synopses & Reviews
Out in the brown and dusty West lived a cowgirl named Julesand#151; genuine like leather, strong like licorice. Her horse, Gertie, could sing, dance, cook, make a mean cup of coffee, multiply, divide, and speak three languages . . .
Mean Bulldog Pike and his horse, Bullet, give this talented twosome a run for their money with a crooked scheme to steal all the water in Sugar Dip. Will Jules and Gertie be able to save the town from this dastardly plot, or will the people of Sugar Dip never enjoy another glass of water again?
In the tradition of dusty desert towns and cowgirl grit, Jules and Gertie blaze new trails as the toughest ten-gallon heroines in the Wild West. Yikki Yea!

About the Author
Once they discovered zines, Mark Todd and Esther Pearl Watson never stopped making them. They've had illustrations in Rolling Stone and Entertainment Weekly and on CD covers and MTV; they've written and illustrated picture books; their paintings appear in art galleries--and still they keep making zines (and lots of friends while they're at it). They live and work in southern California.
