"In real life, Leroy Ninker sells popcorn at the Bijou Drive-In Theater. But in his dreams, Leroy is a cowboy just like the ones in the Wednesday night Western movie double feature. Determined to make his dreams come true, Leroy learns to talk and dress like a cowboy (boots, hat, and all) and goes in search of a trusty steed. What he finds, however, is Maybelline, an old horse who loves sweet talk and prefers spaghetti to hay. Supported by old-fashioned yet energetic artwork, two-time Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo's distinctively quirky blend of humour and heart shines in this chapter book spin-off of the popular Mercy Watson series."
