Sometimes I get that feeling like everyone can see right through me.

Like all my secrets and thoughts and things I don''t want anyone to see are hanging all over me. My mum has exiled me; sent me halfway across the world to live with her sister in Kansas. Have you ever been to Kansas? The emptiness is overwhelming. Everyone thinks I''m a failure. But then he sees me. The coyote, eyes golden and wild. And I guess it''s because someone''s watching me, but I start to dance.

With hauntingly-beautiful writing from Mimi Thebo

author of Dreaming the Bear, Coyote Summer will stay with you long after you put the book down.
