Rascal by Sterling North
4.0
Sweet and memorable.
The adventures of a boy and his pet raccoon, set to the backdrop of rural Wisconsin. Having grown up in rural Minnesota, I found the entire thing both relatable and enthralling. So much so, I was ecstatic when my father one day brought home a chicken-cage full of orphaned baby raccoons. Perhaps having over-idealized the entire concept, I very deliberately tamed one of them and named it Rascal.
I think it's safe to say the story left an impact on my developing mind.
