About this book
A girl in the Montana territory sets out to find her father after he is carried off by an otherworldly creature in this atmospheric horror Western. Charlie's life is a lonely one. While other twelve-year-olds are in school, she spends her days skinning the animals her mercurial father hunts in the wild woods just outside their cabin.
