This story is about a young boy who does not know where he came from. He wanders around from farm to farm picking fruit in order to survive. This story is a heartwarming tale and it is extremely dynamic. There were quite a few characters that you only got to meet for a short time, but in this story it seemed that every character was important. Eventually the orphan boy finds a family in Montana that he can call his own. This book is slightly predictable, but I did enjoy the story line.
An orphan boy who has learned to rely only on himself and lives day to day traveling west and working here and there on fruit farms somehow finds himself on a sheep farm in Montana and stumbles into a family to call his own.
A nice little story, if totally predictable. Plus: enter bear stage left. Another plus: sheepherding dogs.

The book spends more time helping us remember the marsh than it does on environmental activism, which is a good thing. As I finished the book, I did wonder what it would mean to a child raised in a big city who had never seen wildness of any sort. I'm hoping it would call to something inside, but perhaps they would just toss down the book as being too removed from their own lives....Like Mr. Boomer.… (altro)
