content: This is the most amazing story of a young child who has to learn quickly and grow up fast. It also teaches a lot about living off of the land. I read this book over 20 years ago and when I finally saw it in print last year again, I had to buy a copy so that I have one. Whether you are a Girl Scout a Boy Scout or just someone who likes adventure it is a must. I recommend it to anyone who loves the outdoors and adventure. If I could have I would have given it 7 stars.
