Long ago, in a proud desert town named Rhyolite,
businesses thrived and
children played and people had dreams that were big and grand. But
Rhyolite survived only a few years before those dreams were dashed and the desert
reclaimed the town. Now the
streets are
populated by laughing coyotes and the ghosts of happier times. What happened to this once-prosperous place? In fluent, compelling verse, this unusual and witty picture book tells the story of the rise and fall of a real-life Nevada town built near the site of a famous 1904 gold strike. Dramatic woodcuts by David Frampton bring this haunting tale of a ghost town stunningly to life. Author's note..
