(3) YA Katie has lived alone with her father at the edge of a volcano for her entire life. She yearns to know what town life is like, so on her sixteenth birthday her father agrees--reluctantly--to bring her to Badwater. There Katie discovers that civilization is not necessarily civilized. The story's quick pace and unique 1870s "Great Territories" setting will hook readers.
