The Watson family moves to Stoneygate, a vintage coal-mining town, to look after Kit's recently widowed grandfather. When Kit meets John Askew, another boy whose family has both worked and died in the mines, Askew invites Kit to join him in playing a casino game called Death. As Kit's grandfather tells him stories of the mine's past and the history of the Watson family, Askew takes Kit in to the mines, where in fact the boys look to find the childhood ghosts with their long-gone ancestors. Written in haunting, lyrical prose, Kit's Wilderness examines the bonds of family from one generation to the next, and explores how meaning and beauty can be revealed from the depths of darkness. A Michael L. Printz Award Winner, An ALA Notable Book, and a Publishers Weekly Best Book.
