Tracker

Tracker is by Gary Paulsen. John Borne's family hunts for survival not sport. He and his grandfather must head into the woods every fall to shoot deer so the family will have meat during the long Minnesota winter. But now his grandfather is dying and John must go on the hunt alone. He finds a doe and tracks her for days only to discover he can't shoot her. This story is about coming of age and dealing with the loss of a loved one. It is a story of life and death.

Ratings: 6th grade - 6 out of 10.
