Enjoy ’s deeply magical, Southern-rooted novel. Set on the Mighty Mississippi, this book follows the adventures of a girl who just wants to make friends…if she can trust them.

"Her desire is the same desire of every young girl—all she wants is a friend. Unfortunately, she can’t see the flesh and blood friend in front of her eyes, and she’s willing to traipse into the darkness to gain the friendships she wants.

This is a story of how desire when fully grown gives birth to sin, how darkness seduces with false promises of power and knowledge, and how the only way to win against the flesh and the devil is to die." Review from on GoodReads.com

Our Story

At Canonball Books, we want to tell stories that are exciting, good, and full of adventure, the kind of books that you can leave your kids with on a rainy Saturday—and know they’ll be back hours later, asking for more.

We think delivering stories is a serious business, but it’s also a ton of fun. Stories cut and carve us where we’re complacent, feeding our imaginations and shaping our loyalties.

Children can close a Canonball book knowing what courage, sacrifice, family, nobility, and love look like. We live in a world of wonder, beauty, and genuine hope, and we are striving to create stories that imitate that.

We know that good fiction isn’t something that happens in a vacuum, and we are eager for parents, teachers, leaders, and readers to let us know how we’re doing. We look forward to hearing from you!
