"How brave are you?"
"Not very."
"Well, you will be tomorrow."
Twelve-year-old Lizzie Parker's father died after the stock market crash
of 1929. Accustomed to a comfortable life in Seattle, she is now so poor
that she is sent to live with her uncle in a remote logging camp in
British Columbia. But when she arrives, her uncle is gone. Left to fend
for herself among rough loggers, she begins to unravel the mystery of
her uncle's disappearance --only to discover that her own life is in
danger. Now Lizzie must find out just how brave she truly is.
