What would you think about a sixteen year-old boy who has no tolerance for technology? Brain hates the things most teens feel they can’t live without: TV, computers, cell phones and video games. He can only feel happy and content when he is living in the wilderness, away from modern life. This book tells the story of Brian’s “Return” to the woods. My favorite part of the book is when Brian is out in the wild hunting a grouse and enjoying the simple life. Instead of polluting the lakes with a motor boat, he uses a wooden canoe to travel over the water. Brian hunts the grouse but not with a gun. Why? Because he believes a gun is a cruel way for an animal to die. He prefers using a bow and arrow because it gives the animal time to react and escape rather than being killed immediately by a gun. He respects animals and nature and used the grouse for food not sport. What challenges will Brian face next?
