Laura has a mutiny on her hands when she tries to play by the rules in this non-stop wild-western comedy from award-winning author Guy Bass.

Laura Norder lives her life by the Golden Rules and so should everybody else. But being Sheriff of Butts Canyon at the age of ten is a big job to handle, and when a no-good rule-breaking bandit causes chaos in the town, enough is enough! It’s time for Laura to step up to the plate and catch the masked mischief-maker before he breaks any more of her rules! Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant or dyslexic readers aged 8+

I liked this because Laura didn’t want mean people in the village so set rules for people, but they were annoyed by this. Her Dad told her not to have the rules. I learnt that you have to listen to rules, but sometimes you can ask questions about rules

This book is about a cowgirl in the Wild west I think I don't know.

The book was funny in places but I really don't like the part in the story where she just gives up - I don't think giving up makes for a good story.

This book helps your self esteem

Very funny book all about Laura becoming Sheriff of Butts canyon and Ten Gun Ben. I liked Laura's dad the best- who was Sheriff of Butts canyon in the first place- because he was a very scared person in the book and mainly against most of Laura's actions like when she went to tell the mayor off. I also liked the mayor because I picture him saying all the things very sarcastically. I liked it because it shows that little people can do big things even if in the end it doesn't always end up the way you want it to. I would recommend it to everyone who wants a bit of a laugh and enjoys funny things- not very many pages but maybe if you're very young don't read it or let someone else read it to you.

I really liked the ending. I never thought Duncan Disorderly was played by all the townsfolk including Laura’s dad!

It is a very good book. I liked it because Laura was being a detective and a hero at the same time

I read this with my daughter and she thought it was pretty funny. She is quite used to listening to complicated ish stories but the amount of puns and word play in this made it fun to talk about. Would be an excellent independent read for younger children.

06 Aug 2019

This book is about when the townspeople of Butts Canyon get fed up of following the 'Golden Rules' that Laura Norder makes sure that they don't break.

Ten Gun Ben is my favourite character because he is really evil. I would 100% recommend this to others because it is funny.

Here is a sneak preview.

A long time ago, before motor cars and microwaves and mobile phones, there was the Wild West! It was an unruly land full of cowboys, cowherds and cowpats.
