A new life in Heavenly Hill

After moving from California to the small Florida town of Heavenly Hill, Beck Ambersley settles in with his grandmother and encounters a cast of townspeople connected to his new surroundings. Gunmetal Creek is a recurring landmark in the description of Beck’s adventures, while a teacher’s encouragement of his writing gives his adjustment another thread. The story is framed as a coming-of-age journey shaped by a move, new relationships, and changing ideas about innocence.

  • Teens and young adults interested in coming-of-age fiction
  • Readers who enjoy stories centered on a small-town setting and a young protagonist’s adjustment to a new place

Book overview

Beck Ambersley has just moved cross-country with his mother from California to the small town of Heavenly Hill, Florida. As they begin living with "Mawb," Beck's irascible old grandmother, Beck comes to know a group of unforgettable characters - two mysterious girls and their eccentric uncle who live on Gunmetal Creek; a narcissistic high school principal and her equally vile cop husband; a caring teacher who encourages Beck's gift of writing; and many others. All of Beck's adventures in Heavenly Hill - and especially on the storied Gunmetal Creek - will lead him on a journey of growth and discovery, even as he loses what's left of his innocence.
