Cowgirls & Dinosaurs: Big Trouble in Little Spittle

Publisher: Piccadilly

Many years ago, a team of archaeologists unearthed a strange, ancient artefact – a calcified heart. Although at first they were delighted with their find, they quickly became aware of a sinister and evil energy that made them hide the heart away in a place that no one would ever think to look: the sleepy town of Little Spittle. 

But they hadn’t foreseen the Bandit Queen and her dastardly underlings, the Scugg brothers, who are determined to use the evil magic of the heart to commit despicable crimes and ruin life in Little Spittle. 

Can anyone rise to the challenge, defeat the Bandit Queen and save the town? It seems unlikely. But Abigail, who has always dreamed of becoming a sheriff’s deputy, and Clementine, the actual deputy who only got the job because of her dad, not to mention Abigail’s pet dinosaur Rootbeer, have other ideas…  

In this action-packed graphic novel set in the wild west, dinosaurs and people live side by side and ancient magic lurks in the strangest places.  

Focusing on female friendship and bravery in many forms, this is a rip-roaring, crime-fighting adventure packed with monsters, massive fights and all the tropes of a wild west adventure.
