Charlie's Raven - Jean Craighead George

Descriere Charlie's Raven - Jean Craighead George

The beloved author of My Side of the Mountain weaves natural history, myth, and a family narrative about life and death in this poignant tale about a young boy who brings his ailing grandfather a raven, believed to be powerful medicine in Native American folklore. \nSo Charlie brings home Blue Sky, a baby raven with a big personality. Blue Sky imprints on Charlie and becomes a great friend and a source of amazement to the whole family. Granddad, an old naturalist, is intrigued, and he does seem to get better-at least for a while. But caring for a wild creature is very demanding, and as Blue Sky grows, Charlie must find a way to protect him from the many dangers-both natural and human-made-in the rugged Teton Mountains where they live. Weaving natural history, myth, and a family narrative about life and death, Jean Craighead George demonstrates once again why she is one of the most admired children's writers today. Blue Sky will take his place in readers' hearts beside Frightful of My Side of the Mountain as one of this author's most compelling animal characters.
