"Khristine Hvam's narration is as heartfelt as the story of 12-year-old Coyote Sunrise...Both the story and Hvam's distinctive narration will linger in listeners' minds." — AudioFile Magazine, Earphones Award winner
Five years.
That's how long Coyote and her dad, Rodeo, have lived on the road in an old school bus, criss-crossing the nation.
It's also how long ago Coyote lost her mom and two sisters in a car crash.
Coyote hasn’t been home in all that time, but when she learns that the park in her old neighborhood is being demolished—the very same park where she, her mom, and her sisters buried a treasured memory box—she devises an elaborate plan to get her dad to drive 3,600 miles back to Washington state in four days...without him realizing it.
Along the way, they'll pick up a strange crew of misfit travelers. Lester has a lady love to meet. Salvador and his mom are looking to start over. Val needs a safe place to be herself. And then there's Gladys...
Over the course of thousands of miles, Coyote will learn that going home can sometimes be the hardest journey of all...but that with friends by her side, she just might be able to turn her “once upon a time” into a “happily ever after.”
Praise for The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise:
"If Katherine Applegate says a book “just plain makes you want to hug the world,” you know there’s magic there. And if you have narrator Khristine Hvam delivering a warm, slightly twangy performance as said book’s travel-worn protagonist, then that’s a listening experience not to be missed." - Paste.com

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I didn't know what to expect from this story as I sort of picked it for the cover and neat title. It was exactly the story that I needed to read right now. It was refreshing, great storytelling, beautifully written. Definitely recommend it!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5My Niece suggested this book to me, i am absolutely in love. The Author as well as the Narrator did an amazing job at telling this story. I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone regardless of age.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/53.5 stars for me. I honestly wasn’t pleased with the way Rodeo handled his grief but I suppose everyone handles grief differently. Also, it took me about 3 months to finish this book.
