Leroy Ninker Saddles Up Tales from Deckawoo Drive #1 by Kate DiCamillo illustrated by Chris Van Dusen*

I was sooo excited to see this new series!  My sons and I love the Mercy Watson series.
This book focuses on Leroy Ninker and his desire to own a horse.
This book is aimed for a slightly more advanced reader than Mercy Watson.  There are less illustrations and the chapters are longer.  The sentence structure and word choice is more difficult too.
The illustrations are black and white.
More to come in the series (a total of six books will be published!):
2nd one will be about Francine Poulet
3rd one- Sister Baby Lincoln
4th one is in draft form and Ms. DiCamillo is not revealing who the main character is.
*Highly recommend.
