"Luanne Armstrong knows how to get to the heart of a good treasure-seeking story, but she also knows how to explore the complex world of a thirteen-year-old discovering lost family and new friends and the sweet wilderness world of the British Columbia backland." -- Glen Huser, winner of the Governor-General's Award for Stitches
