Everyone, at some time, has wanted to run away to a place where life is natural and a person can find himself. In this saga a boy escapes from city madness and becomes a woodland survivor with the help of a falcon. His adventure is absorbing, touching, informative and completely credible. Woodman's grasp of teenage expressiveness conveys the intensity of a young person struggling to deal with the world around him. Even the boy's final, reluctant acceptance of human invasiveness captures the right note of a boy growing into a man. Woodman has turned a Newbery Honor book into a wonderful listening experience.
