Home in the Woods by Eliza Wheeler

4.0

When Marvel is 6 years old, her father passes away and her family must find a new place to live. She, her mother, and her 7 siblings move into a tar-paper shack in the woods, where they can food and hunt to survive. The book is told in seasons with few details. One thing is clear, though; Marvel's family may not have much, but their home is full of love.

The author's note reveals that the book is based on her grandmother, Marvel's, true experience after her father died during the Great Depression, which makes the book even more special.
