He was a teenager with no home, no family, and a name the world would never forget. In the heart of the Wild West, a boy named Henry McCarty became one of the most famous-and misunderstood-figures in American history. This gripping nonfiction book takes curious readers behind the legends and tall tales to uncover the real story of the kid who would be called an outlaw, a hero, and everything in between.

Packed with exciting true events, this book brings the Old West to life with outlaws, lawmen, jailbreaks, cattle rustlers, and dusty towns where danger could show up at any moment. Readers will learn what life was really like in the 1800s, why people picked sides in the Lincoln County War, and how a boy barely out of childhood became the most wanted man in New Mexico.

Perfect for ages 7 to 12, this page-turner is filled with fascinating facts, Wild West slang, and honest questions about justice, loyalty, and survival. It doesn't just tell what happened-it helps kids think deeper about the choices people made, the myths they left behind, and why this teen outlaw is still talked about today. Buckle up for a ride into one of the wildest stories in American history.
