Coyote Lost and Found (Coyote Sunrise)

Coyote is having a hard time with her foray into actual school after five years of homeschooling as she and her dad, Rodeo, meandered around the country on a converted bus. She finds a box with her mother’s ashes, and at the same time, schools close due to COVID-19, so she and Rodeo decide a road trip is in order to take Mom’s ashes to where she’d wanted them scattered. That place is unknown because she had written it in a book that Coyote lost. But Coyote lets Rodeo think they are on a quest Mom had set up. They take Coyote’s best friend and Rodeo’s new girlfriend along. Coyote is on a secret quest to find the book, but can she?

Anyone who read The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise will be thrilled to find this sequel. Dan Gemeinhart has brought back the cast from that book to continue their delightful wandering ways. The writing is simply spectacular with smart, snappy dialogue, well-rounded characters, and a sweet, funny story that will keep all readers, middle-grade and up, happily turning pages. Coyote tells the story, and her voice is pitch-perfect for a seventh-grade girl. Do not miss this book!
