A great finish to the Mountain Born trilogy. Reading some Elizabeth Yates this year has been a wholesome journey, this book about a boy who grows up into responsibility while his mother is away caring for a relative. I gave it to my 11yo as a gift last year, and just got around to reading it for myself.
adventurous hopeful inspiring lighthearted reflective medium-paced
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes

This sequel to Mountain Born includes adventures with tapping maple trees, rattlesnakes, and farm life. My boys loved this coming of age story about the summer Peter is 13 and makes the shift from boy to man.
