One of two books I wrote for middle readers or what the kids used to call Chapter Books. One of my favorites because my what if idea was "what if I write a story about my very favorite place to walk on my farm. A place with a cave and a creek and maybe a coyote." Everything came from that. This book by far got me the most letters from students since a lot of teachers read it aloud to their classes. That was very fun for me. I loved reading the kids' letters and writing back to them.

Read this in Middle school. re-read as an adult after searching (like, REALLY searching here and everywhere. Like almost police detective work...got in touch with old teachers and I was about to head to my old middle school and look through their entire library. yeah......) for over one year. Totally different the 2nd time around. Ending kind of just "ends", but it was well written, and had lots of "things" going on. Lots of self-discovery/reflection/being alone, which is what I think I liked as a kid, and appreciated as an adult. Amazing what I remembered--and even more amazing is what I didn't remember!
