Scout and Virgil were the O.K. Coral’s best cowhands ever. Scout could herd any fish – feisty, frisky, even ferocious. And Virgil could rope and tie one in six seconds flat. Until one day when trouble arrived. Big trouble. The kind that starts with “T” rhymes with “B” and stands for Bullface. Barrier Reef Bullface. Biggest, meanest, hungriest bull shark for miles around...

“This is definitely a unique combination of themes for us but I think the story works well. We have enjoyed it thoroughly and now must share it with you all. If you get a chance to hunt it down and check it out - do!” - Reading to Know (March 10, 2011)

“... a book that has "lots of laughs" written all over it! The story of a lassoing-octopus and a round-up'ing seahorse - the best cowhands ever!! You will love this story set in the O.K. Coral!!” - Biblio Reads (February 13, 2011)
