When the bountiful world of their ancestors was no more, the Paiute prophets had visions of a dance that would restore it. The ghost dance movement began in hope as native peoples came together to to dance for their shared dream. The dream failed and they tried again. Again the dream failed tragically. But the vision and the dream still call out to all people. It is a story that has not yet ended.

Marian called it Roxaboxen. (She always knew the name of everything.) There across the road, it looked like any rocky hill -- nothing but sand and rocks, some old wooden boxes, cactus and greasewood and thorny ocotillo -- but it was a special place: a sparkling world of jeweled homes, streets edged with the whitest stones, and two ice cream shops. Come with us there, where all you need to gallop fast and free is a long stick and a soaring imagination. In glowing desert hues, artist Barbara Cooney has caught the magic of Alice McLerran's treasured land of Roxaboxen -- a place that really was, and, once you've been there, always is.

Nominated for 1999 ALA Best Books for Young Adults This book boasts a hidden treasure: the facsimile reproduction of a 1916 work by 11-year-old Marian Doan, telling how she and her friends created a town from lines of stone and imagination. Memoirs, reminiscences, and graphic materials combine to weave a vivid tapestry of Marian and her world, and to trace the long impact of her vision. More than eighty years later, here's an intimate glimpse of how a young author's work inspired a noted picture book--a play--and a movement to ensure that children could continue to play on the hill that imagination had transformed forever.
