WILLA Award finalist 2017! Even the most beautiful summer can turn dark and cold in a moment. For nine-year-old tomboy Poppy, moving to the wilderness of the canyon and the ramshackle house was a dream come true. Nature was her playground—she could let her imagination run wild. Poppy thought starting a new school in the fall would be the worst thing to ever happen. But as the temperature dropped and the dark clouds rolled over the canyon walls, she couldn't have foreseen the secrets that should have been shared or the life-and-death events that would unfold—and how they would dramatically change her life forever. Will Poppy be strong enough to endure The Canyon House?
