Trouble at Sugar Dip Well

When a bad apple rides into town on his ""greedy horse"" and taps the water supply, then sells it back to the townspeople in expensive sips, cowgirl Jules and her trusty horse, Gertie, come to the rescue in Trouble at Sugardip Well by Esther Pearl Watson. Acrylic and colored-pencil illustrations bring Knot Belly and its inhabitants to life in this sequel to The Adventures of Jules and Gertie. (Mar.)
