The Abilene Kid: Dead Man's Hand

By John V. Madormo

AN EPIC YA WESTERN TIME-TRAVEL ADVENTURE BEGINS...

Twelve-year-old Dominick Dalesandro is obsessed with the Old West-outlaws, lawmen, and dusty frontier towns. But when a mysterious library book transports him back to 1888 Abilene, Kansas, history is no longer just a subject he studies...it's a world he must survive.

Sheriff Amos "Lone Wolf" Malone has chosen Dominick as his apprentice, giving him the chance to live out his Wild West dreams under a new name: Pete Moss. But adventure quickly turns to danger when Pete learns that the sheriff is doomed to die in just one month. Determined to change history, Pete must navigate gunfights, town secrets, and a daring rescue mission-all while trying to stop a fate that the sheriff refuses to outrun.

As the stakes rise, Pete faces an impossible choice: save the kidnapped children he's sworn to find or prevent the sheriff's tragic end. One decision could change the past forever-but at what cost?

Perfect for fans of time-travel adventures and YA Westerns, The Abilene Kid: Dead Man's Hand delivers heart-pounding action, historical intrigue, and an unforgettable hero.
