When Arizona Charlie, King of the Cowboys, comes to live in Dawson City during the gold rush days, Ben wants to be just like him. After much practice with lasso and slingshot, he is thrilled to be asked to help Charlie in his big show at the Palace Grand as the Klondike Kid. But Ben gets sudden stage fright and runs away, humiliated. Suddenly, when he spots a runaway thief and lassos him, he is a hero after all. Charko combines respect for historic content and details with an eye for good-natured vitality. In his watercolor and colored pencil illustrations we sense the excitement of the audience and hear them cheer Charlie's prancing strides across the Palace stage. An overall warm, yellow glow gives the scenes a sense of yesteryear. A note fills in the facts about the real Arizona Charlie. 2003, Orca Book Publishers,
