True+Grit

The book I read was __True Grit.__ It was about a girl named Mattie Ross who tries to get revenge on the killer of her father. The killer was a cowerd with the name of Tom Chaney who was drunk and wanted to get straight on a card game. Mr. Ross tries to tell him it is ok but Tom shoots him on the spot. So Mattie hires a bounty hunter named Rooster Cogburn. As they embark on this journey they run into a few problems that you will have to find out. My favorite part in the book was when Rooster Cogburn goes against the bad guys by himself and takes them on in a duel. If you like a good western this is the book for you.
