This isn't my favorite of Kjelgaard's book, but it's still an enjoyable read. 12-year-old Bud is “farmed out“ from the orphanage to an older couple on a farm. But it turns out that they're just lonely now that all their kids have moved on and while they do need help around the farm, they're mostly just wanting to help a kid who needs it. Bud is wary at first, but gradually comes to love the couple and their home. His first week there, he comes ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) across a newborn fawn and believes that his life/fate/luck is connected to the life/fate/luck of the young buck. The story covers several years, and Bud always seems to see the black buck at important moments in his life. This is Kjelgaard, so there's also a lot about the importance of responsible hunting and land/game management, since that's kind of his soapbox, but it's presented well as always. I really loved the older couple in ⬇ 2mo
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) this one. They are so kind and sincere in their desire to do good where they can. This is a bit more introspective than some of Kjelgaard's other books, and was published only about a year before he tragically committed suicide. It's not a sad book, but there is a bit of bittersweetness to the story.
