Rango

An unlikely chameleon hero saves the day in this hilarious, Wild West junior novelization adaptation of Rango, Paramounts animated family feature film which releases Spring 2011. In this paperback junior novelization of the film, a pet chameleon named Rango is stranded in the desert and finds his way to Dirt, a tumbleweeds town outside Las Vegas inhabited by hundreds of gun-slinging, ten gallon hat-wearing critters. Lost and lonely, Rango bravely straps on a pair of chaps and tells a tall tale that convinces the towns folk to appoint him sheriff. Unfortunately, Rango blew into Dirt just as the towns water supply is inexplicably shut off - and the banks reserves have been robbed. Everyone is counting on Rango to save the day and before he knows it, Rango embarks on the adventure of a lifetime and confronts the Wild Wests outlaws as he tries to out the unlikely villain and restore water to Dirt. This slap-stick, high-noon showdown features behind the scenes sketches throughout the text plus an 8-page, full-colour photo insert.
