Incident at Hawk's Hill by Allan W. Eckert

4.0

I read the book at about the age of 13, and I wouldn't recommend it for kids under 12 unless they have a more advanced vocabulary. It did leave a lasting impression, to be sure. I enjoyed things about the wilderness, animals, and survival. The base relationships in it both fascinated and uplifted me. The ending was even satisfying, which isn't something I could say about many of the required reading books. Although, I do sympathize with those who were -forced- to read this or any book. I just happened to find it when I was bored.

I don't really think it's fair of those giving this book poor marks for being a good book, but a reading requirement for perhaps slightly too young of an age. There's no more excessive or graphic detail depicted here than one would get from a nature show, and the human factor of it is quite gratifying.
