It’s coming up on Thanksgiving, 1933, and Anya can hardly imagine a better holiday, her first trip ever with her archaeologist dad.
They are heading out west, to a beautiful old guest lodge nestled in a remote canyon. But …
… at the last minute, her dad invites a most unwelcome companion for her, and suddenly, New Mexico is the last place Anya wants to go.
There is nothing like a common cause, though, to bring people together. Anya and her companions are shocked to find how many wonderful things about this canyon are on the brink of disappearing. Cattle ranchers and loggers eye the place greedily. The government wants to bring in tourists. And treasure! Valuable artifacts, sequestered in Pueblo graves, are being stolen right from under their noses.
This canyon has hidden the secrets of an Old World civilization for six hundred years. Now that these kids have been swept up in its history and beguiled by its natural beauty, can they put up a last defense against its being devoured by the modern world?
See the World of TWIST, people and places as I imagine them.
