Ellen RecknorBesprekingen

Me and the Boys by Ellen Recknor was another fun read set in and around the historic town of Tombstone in 1879-80. The story is told by Gini Kincaid, the fifteen year old fiery redhead as she undergoes a series of adventures while hooking up with some disreputable characters. Along the way she comes into contact with the Earp Brothers, Doc Holliday and a host of other interesting individuals that were drifting around the Arizona Territory at that time. Whether searing for a treasure of gold or fighting off Apaches, Gini lives life to the fullest.

In her own words: “I have strutted the stage in notorious haunts and sought the company of outlaws. I have held in my hands a fortune in stolen gold, loved a gambler and fought for my life against villains.” Gini is a firecracker and her story is irresistible, with plenty of action, humor and adventure.

This is the first book I have read by Ellen Recknor, but her witty writing of the wild adventures of Gini Kincaid certainly encourages me to try and hunt up another one of this author’s books.½
