This book is about a boy who is moving to the wild west and thinks that all the stories that he has heard about it are true. Although when he gets there he meets a boy at the airport who has heard the same stories about where he is from. Then he actually gets to his house and finds out that those stories are no true and they are just tall tales. This book describes the anxiety a little kid has as he is faced with a big move across the country. He stereotypes how his new life is going to be, and realizes when he meets another kid how ridiculous it is to assume how a place is going to be. It teaches to be open minded and it has funny stereotpes about the east and west coasts! This book is based on a young boy that is forced from his home to move to a place out west with many preconceived ideas about what his new life will be like. He met a boy in the airport who was moving to the east with the same feelings. He soon found out that he was wrong and grows to love his new home. This would be a good lesson for the students that you can't believe everything you hear; rumors. no reviews | add a review
