Amazon customer review © Incident At Hawks Hill is a great book! It may start out a little on the slow side but once you get into the story, it's great! Here is a book report type thing on the book. Ben Macdonald is a shy boy who took a liking to imatating animals' body language. No one believes he has much value exept for his mother, Esther. But not even she can get him to talk and be a normal boy of his age. He is small and light in his weight. Well at least for his age. On one of his jouneys on the prairie he finds a mouse that had just been killed with younglings alive. He knows the baby mice will not survive, so when a badger comes close to him he feeds her the mice, being careful to put them out of their misery quickly. One day he wanders out on the prairie following a praire chicken. By the time he tries to come home for lunch he has found himself lost in the prairie. When he seeks shelter he finds the same badger that he fed wild mice to. Will he make it back to his family. To find out what happens next read the book. Also the other reviews have a very good description. If you read this book I hope you enjoy it. The sequel is also good. Thank You for reading my review.
Amazon customer review © This is one of the best books of my childhood reading experience. I was eleven years old and my mom baught it for me when we were on a trip to England. It was more than a way to kill down-time. The story, characters and the rollercoaster of emotions it inspired are memorable still. This book is remarkable and I would recomend it in the same breath as 'where the Red Fern Grows' or 'Good Night, Mr. Tom'. Do a child in your life a favor: have them read this book.
