, is the wonderful story of 10 year old Moon. Moon's father has taught him everything he knows to survive, from making food, shelter and medicine, to changing his trails, and staying downwind. He has also taught him to believe in his conspiracy theories that a war is coming and the government is after them. They have lived in complete obscurity, in an underground shelter in the backwoods of Alabama, as long as Moon can remember.Things get dicey when the property they live on is sold to an lawyer with an interest in hunting. To make matters worse, Moon's father dies, leaving him, literally, alone in the world. Moon gets caught by the lawyer and turned over to the authorities. Now Moon must learn how to survive in a new world.
No spoilers here. This book is an amazing journey. Even my husband read it! Perfect for boys age 12 and up. (There are some references to alcoholism and instances of physical abuse, but no glorification of such, and all villains get their comeuppance.) Highly recommended.
