Looking for a book for kids and young adults that isn't fantasy or paranormal? One that teaches them about hunting, the outdoors and a respect for animals in an engaging, entertaining, page-turning way? You've found it. Volume one of this series introduces us to Shawn Buckner, a 14-year-old outdoorsman who hits the Minnesota woodlands (by himself) in search of his first wild turkey. What transpires is a series of spectacular wildlife encounters that keeps the reader engaged from start to finish. From rattlesnakes to game wardens, this one has it all. Through his simple delivery, vivid descriptions, and knowledge of the outdoors Pedersen succeeds in planting you firmly in the hunting boots of our young hero, and makes you want to grab your bow and have an adventure of your own. No matter how old you are. -- Nick Viau, lifeandlongbows.wordpress.com
