Billy the Kid's Close Encounter of the Fifth Kind by Joshua Slatten

Description: In this light hearted journey, you'll ride along with Billy the Kid as he makes the discovery of a lifetime - an alien! Join our favorite outlaw as he goes about his adventures with his new sidekick! While Billy the Kid may never have had an encounter with an alien during his lifetime (or did he?), I hope that this adventure will convey enough of the Kid's historical surroundings and events in the guise of a Western alien fiasco that young readers will want to learn more about real history. There are many events in this story that really happened (perhaps without an alien present) - see if you can find these "historical Easter eggs" throughout the book! Another possible point of deviation in this book: throughout the story, you'll see endnote citations. Good history is all about documentation. Using endnotes in this book for young readers will, I hope, teach them at an early stage about the usefulness of source-checking and research integrity. Each endnote will provide some of the actual history behind the events in the story. Above all, it is my hope that this story brings you joy while you see Billy ride one more time, forever young in our hearts and minds, into that beautiful New Mexican sunset.
