3.0

Similiar to Shiloh by PhyllisReynoldsNaylor, but this is set in northern Minnesota. Informative about forest wildlife. It's a good story, but for me, not particularly memorable. This book does contain peril to the main character and descriptions of animal death and dismemberment.

There's good representation here:  
  • Seth, the main characte, is 12yo, lives in the rural woods, and is  homeschooled
  • Seth's mom is pregnant and works outside the home
  • Seth's dad is absent, but his stepdad is a good role model
  • Healthy family dynamics as they work through the ethics of lying, hunting, and poaching
