Loved teaching this in middle school. ❄️

He would like to speak to the manager about the following issues: not enough petting, has been a full two hours since his last meal, cannot reach the treat jar on his own.

Young David‘s Uncle Owen is dying and asks David to take his twenty-two foot fiberglass FROG out to sea upon Owen‘s death, and scatter his ashes upon the water. His journey is fraught with storms/high winds, hunger and thirst, and the loneliness of survival. Well-written and you felt like you were experiencing it all as David was.

This was beautifully told! A look at the mind and musings of 15 yo Wil Neuton who is exploring solitude and self-reliance by coexisting with nature on a small island in a lake in northern Minnesota.

I started the Frances Tucket series today. Book 1: In 1848, while on a wagon train headed for Oregon, fourteen-year-old Francis Tucket is kidnapped by Pawnee Indians and then falls in with a one-armed trapper who teaches him how to live in the wild. Book 2: Frances heads out on his own when he realizes he‘s no longer a boy but a man.

Like @Klou ‘s #Book2MovieRecs, I‘m doing the opposite and recommending a movie based on the style of book Hatchet is by Gary Paulsen.

This is a wilderness survival movie, with a thriller twist - a man eating bear is stalking the three men on the mountain. Who will survive or be pushed to their edge?
