Saving Sweetness by Diane Stanley
and G. Brian Karas
Has a book ever been weeded due to lack of circulation and you pick it up because it has a cute cover and read it? After reading it, you want to recommend it, but it's already been weeded? Ug! Such is the case with Saving Sweetness. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the illustrations. There's a sequel too!
Sweetness is an orphan who runs away. The Sheriff sets out to "save" her. If paying attention to the story, kids will see Sweetness does her own share of saving. It takes place in the Old West and contains language like right cold, ain't and varmint. (The improper grammar threw me off at first, but I quickly got into the spirit of the book.) I highly recommend reading it out loud with your best Old West accent.
