by Doyle CarverPublish: Mar 28, 2019Teen & Young Adult Book Overview
At twelve years old, Bo is unexpectedly promoted from child to man during this special hunting week-end in the woods of East Texas. He faces a series of tests; corralling his wayward brothers, protecting his mother's shotgun, keeping track of his prized knife, and meeting his demanding father's expectations. He may even impress the girl he likes--who happens to be the only girl on the hunt. Travel back to a time when families hunted together and dogs were held in higher esteem than children; at least the children thought so.
