Winner of the 2023 Charlotte Huck Award for outstanding fiction for children

Twelve-year-old Gabe doesn't know where he belongs anymore. His family is caught up in their own lives, and his soccer-star friends barely have time for him. In a desperate plea for attention, Gabe sets off fireworks in the woods near his house and causes a small forest fire.

In the chaos of the destruction, a coyote named Rill—tired of her family and longing for adventure—finds herself far from home. already on animal control's watch for snapping at a child, Rill crawls into a cave, where she nurses her wounds alone.

Gabe's and Rill's paths cross when Gabe is tasked with cleaning up the forest through the court's restorative justice program. the damage to the land and to both their lives is beyond what the two can imagine. But together, they discover that sometimes it only takes one friend to find the place where you belong.
