Product Description

This timely coming of age novel takes on the controversial issues of fracking and environmental protection.Stay away from my woods. Eleven-year-old Fern doesn't have the easiest life. Her stepfather is out of work, and she's responsible for putting dinner on the table—not to mention keeping her wild younger brothers out of trouble. The woods near their home is her only refuge, where she finds food and plays with her neighbor's dog. But when a fracking company rolls into town, her special grove could be ripped away, and no one else seems to care. Her stepfather needs the money that a job with the frackers could bring to their family, and her wealthy grandfather likes the business it brings to their town. Even her best friend doesn't understand what the land means to Fern. With no one on her side, how can she save the forest that has protected her for so long? The acclaimed author of Wonder at the Edge of the World weaves a poignant story about life on the poverty line, the environment, friendship and family—and, most of all, finding your place in the world.

My son (age 10) and I read this together, and we loved it. He would read ahead of our nightly chapter, and he has re-read the book a couple times on his own. The protagonist offers a modern-day Laura Ingalls figure, whom both boys and girls will find inspiring and real. It has excellent writing, nice short chapters, good laughs, strong characters, and some questions about survival, all of which make it a pleasure to read and strong school book club candidate. Contrary to one Amazon reviewer's claims, the author tells a balanced story about choices facing families and communities in rural, undeveloped lands. The author's note, which comes at the end of the book (not part of the story), perhaps lays on a heavy moral and values-based stance that may upset folks sensitive to people expressing desires related to environmental preservation.
