New release! Danny Ain’t by Joe Cottonwood

Here’s our newest offering after the complete revamp of the site! And it’s from a fan-favorite, Joe Cottonwood!

Danny Ain't by Joe Cottonwood

Danny’s father goes into a hospital for a while, leaving Danny to live alone in a trailer with no money and little food. That’s when the coyotes start coming to visit. Coyotes are tricksters. Coyotes are clever survivors. So is Danny as he learns what kind of human being he truly is — and what kind he ain’t.

DANNY AIN’T is part of the San Puerco Trilogy, three award-winning novels that have been loved by adults and children alike, about the adventures of three boys in the scrappy little town of San Puerco, California. Other titles in the trilogy are BOONE BARNABY and BABCOCK.

“A finely crafted story. The characters are enormously appealing.” — School Library Journal

“The author of THE ADVENTURES OF BOONE BARNABY returns to the small town of San Puerco for another engaging, well-told tale.” — Kirkus Reviews

“Brave, compassionate Danny, who embraces his incorrect grammar as symbolic of his identity, is worth cheering for.” —Publishers Weekly

DANNY AIN’T won the BABRA Award (Bay Area Book Reviewers Association) as Best Book for Children in 1992
