THUNDER ROSE

Move over, Paul Bunyan and Pecos Bill! Even Slew Foot Sue will have to make room for Thunder Rose. Born "good and strong" and ready to make a difference, Rose and her metalworking skills mark the American countryside and psyche. By the age of 12 she had crafted thunderbolts and skyscrapers and was poised to wrassle outlaws and tornadoes. But Rose's wisdom is deep, and her voice comes from her heart. Lizan Mitchell balances Rose's gentle side with the outrageous. As Rose, Mitchell is loving toward family and determined on her do-good quests. Vibrant and spunky, Rose will win your heart. A.R.
