Title: King Coyote by Rachael Meyers Jones
Genre: Middle Grade Fantasy
Publishing Date: April 14, 2026
Synopsis:
Twelve-year-old King has been banished to the Vermont woods for the summer, and there’s nothing he can do about it. As if his parents getting divorced wasn’t bad enough, they’ve shipped him off to his aunt and uncle’s house to protect him like he’s some baby. The only bright side is being reunited with his favorite cousin, Nat, who he hasn’t seen in years.
At first, King wants nothing more than to go home to Boston. There are barely any other Black people in Vermont, the townsfolk are mean to him, and his relatives don’t even have Wi-Fi to play games! But a late-night encounter with a young coyote changes his mind. King develops a bond with the creature, who seems just as lonely and misunderstood as he is. Then King’s uncle calls the local trappers, saying the coyote is a threat to their farm, and King is forced to decide: return home to Boston, or stay and save his new friend?
With the help of Nat, a veteran wilderness explorer and walking wildlife encyclopedia, King scales mountains, faces off against skunks, and sleeps under the stars to find a new home for the coyote—and just maybe, a home for himself, too.
Inspired by her own childhood traipsing through the Vermont wilderness, debut author Rachael MeyersJones brings a fresh take to the classic wilderness survival tale.

At first I was not keen on Coyote but as the story continued I began to like him as I learned about what he had to deal with which Rachael did a good and as for Nat she was an amazing character and really brought the good out of Coyote as did Coal. There was so much danger whether it was out in the forests or facing people who had a problem being you which King found out on occasions. I loved the understanding Coal had that the humans King and Nat wanted him to be free. What would of been really good if there were chapters where we saw Coal's point of view.
For all the above reasons King Coyote receives 4 stars
