After a huge fight with his parents, Max tries to return to his love and his best friend, Bero, in medieval Germany. Instead he lands in 1881 New Mexico. Struggling to get his bearings and coming to terms with Dr. Stuler's evil computer game misleading him, he runs into Billy the Kid. To his amazement Billy isn't at all the ruthless killer history made him out to be.

Trouble brews when a dying Warm Springs Apache gives Max a huge gold nugget to help his sister, Ela, escape from Fort Sumner. Shopping for supplies Max attracts the attention of ruthless bandits. Before Max can ask the Kid's help, he and Ela are forced to embark on a journey to find his imaginary goldmine. This is book 2 in the Escape from the Past trilogy.

Industry Reviews

"... a gripping YA historical novel. There's something about the essence of Western drama that makes exciting, wonderful reading. Max is fortunate enough to participate in the gritty, courageous kind of living that was once a day-to-day challenge. This is a great historical fantasy read that will make you want to read the first book in this series!" -Historical Novel Society

"What a fun summer read! The Kid is an artful combination of science fiction and historical fiction..." -Patrice W. Hallock, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Education, Chair, Educator Preparation & Psych-Child Life, Utica College

"...a magical fictional mystery interwoven with historical facts and exciting adventures... -Richard Rafes, Ph.D., J.D., President of East Central University

"As an English teacher of 43 years and as a life-long student of the Wild West and Native Americans, I found Annette Oppenlander's, The Kid, to be an accurate, well-researched and thoroughly entertaining novel for young readers. I strongly recommend this novel for any imaginative young reader who likes to have one foot in fantasy and one in reality." -Bill Hays, English AP/Honors Teacher, Retired, Bloomington North High School
