Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3?This easy reader relates the adventures of 16-year-old Bill Cody as he goes to work for the Pony Express. He is chased by thieves, caught in terrible weather, and stalked by wolves, none of which are mentioned in his letters home. The story is fast paced, exciting, and filled with terrific illustrations. Bolognese's use of heavy black outlined figures, often surrounded only by a large expanse of white page, is very effective. Unfortunately, a serious error appears. Bill travels from Red Buttes to Three Crossings station. When he arrives, he's told that a rider is sick and he needs to ride an additional 75-mile stretch. The text then states that, "Seven hours later, Bill made it to Three Crossings." Readers are bound to be perplexed by this statement and will be shuffling back through the pages to see what they missed. Too bad.?Gale W. Sherman, Pocatello Public Library, ID

From Booklist
Gr. 2^-4. Lots of pictures in warm tones, generous leading, and a page layout that allows usually no more than seven words on a line will encourage kids ready for beginning chapter books to give this Old West yarn a try. Of course, the adventures of 15-year-old Billy (based on legends associated with Buffalo Bill) will be the real draw, especially for boys. The characters are definitely stereotyped in both text and artwork, but there's plenty of adventure as Billy outrides Indians who want to steal his pony, scares off a pack of vicious wolves, and outsmarts the local bad guy, Terrible Tod.
