Moving all the way across the country is a big deal, especially when you are absolutely sure of what is waiting for you. A young boy leaving his home in New York City is perfectly happy staying right where he is forever. After all, everyone knows that out West you have to ride a horse to school, you cannot sit down because of all the cactus plants, and you will definitely be greeted by Gila monsters the moment you step off the airplane. But when he finally arrives at his new home, the real West turns out to be full of surprises. Riding in a taxi instead of on horseback, he quickly discovers that his wild worries might just be a little bit silly. This funny and comforting story tackles the nervous jitters of moving to a new place and shows how trying something different can actually be quite an adventure.
