This is the most amazing story of a young child who has to learn quickly and grow up fast. It also teaches a lot about living off of the land. I read this book over 20 years ago and when I finally saw it in print last year again, I had to buy a copy so that I have one. Whether you are a Girl Scout a Boy Scout or just someone who likes adventure it is a must. I recommend it to anyone who loves the outdoors and adventure. If I could have I would have given it 7 stars.

I read this book about five years ago as an adult, a school librarian. I lost track of the title and have been haunted by the book ever since. Tonight I found the title, tomorrow, I will order it for my library. It will fill the adventure nitch in my school library, along the lines of Paulsen's Hatchet, but even more unforgetable because of the hermit.
