Here is a compelling family drama that you can read aloud to the kids! With a strong sense of place (Vermont) and an engaging plot (murder/revenge), this is a G-rated murder mystery that the whole family can enjoy. When a young boy is traumatized by watching his mother's murder, it starts him on a fascinating journey that includes becoming mute, learning to survive alone in the wilderness, and an eventual reconciliation with society five years later. A visiting family from California helps put all the pieces together in this charming, brief book that clearly has ties to the author's own life.

The degree of intencity, from beginning to end! You will not be able to put it down.

This is a touching tale that comes complete with black and white photographs. A young man, David, is witness to the murder of his mother. He then hides in the woods of Vermont until he is old enough to carry out revenge. Lots of thing occur during the course of this short book including David being mistaken for the Green Mountain Yeti and his own saving of another's life. I liked it.

Tersely and expertly written, with a level of deep intensity permeating every page, credible characters and locales, the book is also profusely illustrated with black and white sketches. I very much enjoyed the book!
