About this title

From School Library Journal

Grade 3-4-- The summer after fourth grade, Tommy travels the rodeo circuit with his father, a bullfighter dressed as a clown who rescues cowboys in the arena. Jigsaw puzzle solver Bonnie Sue enlists him to solve the case of someone who frees the bucking stock, vandalizes printed programs, and frightens a superstitious country singer . Saunders smoothly blends explanations of rodeo events into a plot that will carry even reluctant readers through to the conclusion. Just above the reading level of Adler's "Cam Jansen" series (Viking), this one's for "Encyclopedia Brown" (Lodestar) fans. --Patricia G. Harrington, Phoenix Public Library
