2021 Crime Writers of Canada Awards of Excellence in Canadian Crime Writing

Since 1984, the Crime Writers of Canada Awards of Excellence in Canadian Crime Writing (formerly the Arthur Ellis Awards) recognizes the best in mystery, crime, and suspense fiction by Canadian authors. We would like to congratulate Frances Greenslade whose novel, Red Fox Road, won the Best Juvenile/YA Crime Book award.

Red Fox Road
By Frances Greenslade
248 Pages | Ages 10-14 | Hardcover
ISBN 9780735267817 | Puffin Canada
Francie and her parents are on a spring road trip: driving from British Columbia, Canada, to hike in the Grand Canyon. When a shortcut leads them down an old logging road, disaster strikes. Their truck hits a rock and wipes out the oil pan. They are stuck in the middle of nowhere. Francie can’t help feeling a little excited — she’d often imagined how she’d survive if she got stranded in the bush, and now here they are. But will her survival skills — building fires, gathering dandelion leaves and fir needles for tea — be enough when hours stretch into days?
