The Kid
(Juvenile Book)

Destiny, Colorado: 1881. Fourteen-year-old Henry Upton reckons it's his job to keep his younger brothers together on the farm now that Mama and Papa are gone. Henry writes stories as The Kid, the fastest draw in the West, to keep meddling folks away from town. The stories are a major success, but the plan doesn't work. So Henry stops writing them stories. Herbert might lose his job as an editor at Gunslinger Magazine if he can't find out why The Kid stopped sending stories about his amazing exploits. Herbert's a sneezy Eastern city slicker, but he decides to head out West to find The Kid anyway. Snake-Eye Sam has set his sights on The Kid. Sam has evil in his heart and jealousy pulsing in his veins. Breaking out of prison and taking down The Kid is about the only thing that will cure the itch running down Sam's spine. On Main Street at high noon, a master plan is hatched. Will Henry get what he needs to save his family? Pull up a stool, have a tall frothy glass of sarsaparilla and enjoy!
