What a fantastic book! I read this young adult novel by Jamie Bastedo over the last few days on a recommendation from a YA Fiction teacher named Anita Daher whom I met last week at the School of Writing at the CMU. She also has her own book that I love for teens called Spider's Song. We had a discussion about writing a book with two protagonists, one a human and the other an animal. She recommended Tracking Triple Seven and it was a lightning fast read. I was so pulled by the adventure that I could hardly put it down. It followed a tale of a young boy, the son of a diamond mine owner and a grizzly bear mother fiercely protecting her tiny cubs. Keep in mind it is a fiction for teens, but it was very engaging, especially if you want to write in that genre.
Hi Brandy,
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear your CMW writer's workshop week proved so beneficial. Sounds like you enjoyed every minute of it. I too have read Anita Daher, and have a signed copy of Spider's Song. Isn't it great. (I'm now saving all my YA novels to pass along to the grandkids when they're old enough:-)
I'm enjoying following your blog. Happy writing.
