Twelve-year-old Hunter Higgins has been dreaming about his first
hunting trip for as long as he can remember. He's taken the
classes, earned his license, and become one of the best marksmen in
his family. Now he's old enough to join his father, grandfather,
and uncle at their cabin for the first weekend of hunting season.
There's only one problem: Hunter isn't sure he can kill an animal.
To make things more complicated, when they arrive at the cabin, his
cousin Yumi is there with her friend Annette, who Hunter secretly
has a crush on. Anxious about the hunt and the humiliation of
possibly failing, Hunter grapples with what it means to have the
power of life and death in his hands, and must decide what role he
wishes to play in his relationship to nature and to wildlife.
If you could see with your eyes closed, would you use your power for good or for personal gain? That's what Henry has to decide in The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, one of the seven short stories in this extraordinary collection. A boy who can talk to animals, a cunning hitchhiker, and a man who finds a fabulous fortune are only a few of the characters you'll meet. This clever mix of fact and fiction also includes the story of how master storyteller Roald Dahl became a writer.
