Doubtful Canon: Another Bogg winner,
By
This review is from: Doubtful Canon (Leisure Western) (Mass Market Paperback)
Spur Award winner, Johnny Bogg, gives us another winner in "Doubtful Canon." As the back of the book states: "For twenty years, a half crazed albino has been scheming to recover $30,000 in gold coin buried in Doubtful Canon. But a number of setbacks have kept Whitey Grey from claiming the prize-Apache, Mexican bandits, rustlers, thieves, bushwhackers, and the like. Even if he did manage to get through the treacherous territory, the gold is stashed in a hole so narrow only a child could get through. Then White meets three enterprising 12 year olds craving adventure, and a plan begins to take shape..." Johnny cleverly manages to combine "It's a mad, mad, mad, world" with elements of Tom Sawyer and adolescent adventure fiction in a delightful novel that shows why Boggs is a master of his craft. I must say that this book belongs in the collection of every Boggs collector, yet, the cover is terrible! What happened to the great art that adorned every book folks? Tim Lasiuta

Excellent Western Adventure,
By
This review is from: Doubtful Canon (Leisure Western) (Mass Market Paperback)
Three children with a strong bond of friendship forged by their similar tragic circumstances get swept away in a wild-west adventure that is reminiscent of Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer. To find $30,000 in lost gold (and escape from the hopelessness they face in the town of Shakespeare) they are led into Doubtful Canon, a place crawling with renegade Apaches, outlaw gunmen, and dead men's bones. This book was great fun from page one. Highly recommended.
