The Canyon - Stanley Crawford - Bog

Scotty's family owns a lodge near their silver mine in the Colorado Rockies. Summers at the lodge are idyllic for Scotty and his cousin Mickey. The grown-ups are dealing with the complications of business and adult dysfunction, but the boys are more interested in the complications of puberty. To read this rich evocation of adolescent watchfulness is to experience what it is like to be fourteen years old, waiting for something to happen.
