Synopsis:

Giddyup, kids, and gallop right over to read this rootin' tootin' tale of an unlikely would-be hero. Avery's at camp, trying hard to saddle up and master his lasso, but he's just not like the other cowboys. He's allergic to the horses and can't stand the grub. But when a bully threatens all the campers, Avery proves his mettle in his own unique way. Young readers will have lots of fun with the story's lively language and wildly humorous pictures.

Excerpt:

Avery kicked the toe of his boot in the dirt.  He looked at everyone else at Cowboy Camp and knew he was all wrong.  His belt buckle was too big.  His hat was too small.  His boots were too red.  Even his name was wrong.
