This YA Western adventure imagines an alternate fate for the famous outlaw: âReaders will hang on anxiously and eagerly as the plot gallops [forward]â (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

The Kid's back-stabbing partners are hunting him, tooâand a conniving posse wants Billy (and the sheriff!) dead. This fictional tale of real-life legend Billy the Kid imagines William Bonney's fate had his life of crime taken a very different turn.
