About This Book

The story follows a close-knit group of children in a mountain canyon who skate, camp, and welcome a reserved cousin arriving from the city. Their season of outdoor pleasures and everyday routines leads to explorations of gulches, streams, and mine levels, tests of loyalty and courage, a serious unexpected setback, and efforts to care for one another amid limited adult guidance. Episodes move from lighthearted contests and parties to darker incidents underground and in stormy weather, and the narrative resolves through practical decisions, community intervention, and steadfast friendships that bind the youngsters through trouble.
