A very great read that will challenge the way you look at struggle and privilege. This book pulls at your heart and has you rooting for different characters throughout.
It is written through the point of view of a young boy growing up in the backcountry and I found the tone and language a bit difficult to get used to at first. Also, it is a very long read which may deter some readers, but the story itself is so beautiful.
