- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Jack and the Lady go West to stay at a dude ranch, which just happens to be right next door to a bank. One night the bank is robbed, and the suspect looks a bit like Jack...This is the third "Jack" book I've read and they seem to be getting progressively worse. This one relies on stereotypes of the Old West, which don't interest me and seem too simplified here to actually be of any value to young readers. Jack is constantly "mad" in this title, with the narrator asking why but there never being an answer. The villain is obvious, and the end has Jack stealing a bag of money after all! These books have a back cover that start with "Jack is a good guy, but he can also be bad." I'm not sure calling an actual thief a "good guy" is the best route for children.That being said, the cartoonish illustrations (and story, to be honest) might tickle some readers' funny bones. The language is fairly simple and straightforward in this title, with short chapters likely to give children a sense of confidence of having read a chapter book.
