When darkness falls, Drover reports that he has seen a witch, a ghost, a pirate, and two skeletons on Slim’s front porch. These terrifying creatures were saying something about “Tricker Trees.” Hank goes to verify this and the fun really starts.

Here is a great chapter book option for middle elementary boys, even reluctant readers! Written by Christian Cowboy, John R. Erickson, these delightful stories will capture your imagination and your funny bone. Be prepared to laugh out loud with Hank the Cowdog, Head of Ranch Security. These stories were absolute favorites in the Bjorkman house for many years. There are over 50 titles in the series, so once you’re hooked, come back and find the next episode. Some of the humor is a bit “earthy”, as when Hank chooses to bathe in the septic tank overflow, but we have not found any of it objectionable.
