The Great Hawk (Paperback)

Taking place between the early 1930's to mid 1940's, The Great Hawk is the compelling story of Jimmy; a young boy who dreams of training a baby hawk for falconry. Speaking directly to young adults through both Jimmy's age along with the naive earnestness with which he approaches the task of training a baby hawk. A rural setting during the Great Depression is ideal for this literal tale. Starting with a picturesque description of the trip to Jimmy's grandparent's farm the story entices the reader to continue further to discover Jimmy's next stop in his journey. From the building of his falconry perch all the way to the ominous consequences of agreements, Jimmy's journey culminates with an ending that is both haunting, and flavored with a hard-learned lesson. Vivid imagery, and at times rather dark descriptions of Jimmy's experience is that of the innocent exuberance of youth and the near tragic awakening to consequences.
