It's a story of suspense and a haunting friendship, beautifully told by Brenda Chapman... Her stories for young people are valuable for their excellence, for not "talking down" to a younger audience, and for her frank discussion of the problems and the joys all teens have to face.

Hiding In Hawk's Creek

Fourteen-year-old Jennifer Bannon cannot face another boring summer in Springhills with her parents as far apart as ever and the expectation that she'll spend her holidays babysitting her younger sister Leslie. Jennifer convinces her mother to let her spend July at her grandmother's cottage in Hawk's Creek. She does not reveal that her plan is to live with her grandmother forever in order to avoid the problems back home. But Hawk's Creek holds dark secrets, and Jennifer is soon drawn into the troubled world of Audrey Musquash, a Native girl accused of stealing and being out of control. In this tale of suspense and haunting friendship, Jennifer must face truths that will change her life forever.
