The son of a Mississippi policeman finds a boy living on his own in the wilderness in this riveting middle grade tale of friendship, danger, and mystery.
“In the tradition of Gary Paulsen’s survival tales. . . . Short chapters filled with action and adventure keep the pacing taut and will entice reluctant readers. . . . A good pick for action/adventure fans.” —School Library Journal
Twelve-year-old Sam has been given a fishing boat by his father, but he hates fishing. Instead he uses the boat to disappear for hours at a time, exploring the forbidden swampy surroundings of his bayou home. Then he discovers a strange kid named Davey, mysteriously alone, repairing an abandoned cabin deep in the woods. Not fooled by the boy’s evasive explanation as to why he’s on his own, Sam becomes entangled in his own efforts to help Davey. But this leads him to telling small lies that only get bigger as the danger increases for both boys and hidden truths become harder to conceal.
This title has Common Core connections.
