About this ebook
Opie and Ned are adrift in the Old West, searching for the man who shot their Ma. These two youngsters only have each other, but with all their squabbling it's a miracle they still have that.
When they get wind of the mysterious Pa ("crime kingpin of the West!"), Opie and Ned suddenly have something new: a mission. But tracking down the elusive (and deadly) Pa is going to take all the wiles these two kids have, and some new friends to boot.
Clever, explosive, and deeply moving by turns, Varmints is a perfect middle-grade comedy graphic novel. Hirsch brings an old-school Western style to bear on a story full of nuance, humor, and surprises.

Reviews for Varmints
6 ratings1 review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is a graphic novel/comic book that reminds me of the old comics I read as a child. Being an adult now, I was not impressed so much with this book, but I definitely think children (8 to 12) would enjoy this book. The illustrations are colourful, detailed and humorous. They definitely add to the story and help to show what is happening.
Opie and her little brother Ned have lost their Ma and are now traveling the Wild West in search of their Pa so they can be a family. While on their journey, they are always running into trouble. There are some humorous events that will resonate with children. Throughout all this, Ned makes friends along the way. The story flows very nicely. Will they find their Pa? Will they become a family? A book definitely geared to children. I think reluctant readers will find this story interesting.
I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
