The End of the Wild
By Nicole Helget
It's been a while since I have read a book without one of my kids at my side. We got this book at the book fair this fall and it turned into a quick read for me. One of the things that interested me the most about this book was that her book was inspired by an effort to protect a prairie in southern Minnesota... that is so close to us!
Eleven-year-old Fern doesn't have the easiest life. Her stepfather is without a job and Fern is responsible for making dinner and taking care of her two younger brothers. In addition to that there is a fracking company that promises jobs at the cost of losing her special grove. Can Fern save the forest?
