A Young Adult western novel by bestselling author W.R. BentonYoung James Larson never intended to become an outlaw, it just happened. While holding open the door for a woman at the town's bank he inadvertently befriended the wrong person. The woman quickly pulled out her gun, held it on the teller and announced the bank was being robbed. Then, again at gunpoint, the woman forced James to accompany her out the door. The ploy worked. The robbers walked out and James could do nothing but walk beside them. The woman, Norma, was the leader of the gang and for some reason she took a liking to James and forced him to ride at her side as the robbers fled town. With a posse sure to be on the robber's trail, James knew the gang had to keep moving or risk the noose for their crimes.

In this spare and powerful story set in the Old West, people in a small town live in constant worry of another visit from the Outlaw. Then the Outlaw suddenly and mysteriously disappears. Time passes, and one day a stranger rides into town. He takes it upon himself to fix everything that is in disrepair — the clapboard schoolhouse, the train station platform. He even builds a horse trough. But when someone recognizes him as the Outlaw, the crowd turns on him. It takes the courage of a small boy to change the course of events … The subtle, beautiful mixed-media art with its nineteenth-century textural references perfectly complements this original story from debut author and illustrator Nancy Vo.

The Young Outlaw is different from the usual rags-to-riches story by Horatio Alger -- because the "hero" is not honorable, steals and lies when he thinks it would help, does not get to a decent life by working diligently, and ends up on the street.
