  3. Skull • A boy named Brennan, his mom and her boyfriend go camping with 7kids. Brennan finds a skull with a bullet hole in the forehead. Later on, he finds out that the skull belongs to an Apache Indian, Coyote Runs. Then Brennan finds out that the skull is somewhere around 100 years old.

  4. Characters • There are two main characters in Gary Paulsen’s book “Canyons”. The two characters are two boys from two completely different cultures.

He finds out that this skull is a boy whose name is Coyote Runs. . . Brennan then goes on a mission to return the skull back to Dog canyon because he had taken it home. Coyote Runs (the skull) seems to be sending him a mental message to take it back to Dog Canyon.
