About The Book
To read this quiet, rich evocation of adolescent watchfulness is to experience what it is like to be fourteen years old, waiting for something to happen, aware of everything but oblivious to as much of it as possible.

Raves and Reviews
The Canyon bridges youth and maturity, achieving a perspective that transcends both.--The Rumpus
A wonderful portrait of the natural world and of the beginning of childhood's end, written with simplicity, rich humor, poetic depth, and restraint. The writing is very evocative of the time period, with deeply accurate descriptions of everyday things that bespeak the late 1940s. You really believe you are there. Throughout, there is a tranquility to the prose that is hard to match. What is unsaid underneath this tranquility is very powerful. There is also a quiet but lovely humor throughout the book. You just don't get books as well crafted and original as this very often.--John Nichols, author of The Milagro Beanfield War
