Kinsey-Warnock, Natalie

In the Language of Loons

105 pp. January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-525-65237-X
(4) 4-6 Spending the summer on his grandparents' farm, twelve-year-old Arlis learns important lessons about life and nature under Grandpa's tutelage. Arlis returns home with newfound self-respect, joins the track team, and forges a closer relationship with his distant father. Lacking the subtlety of Kinsey-Warnock's previous stories, this heavy-handed novel is set in 1969; an unnecessary scene of the 'Apollo' moon landing is the only reference to the era, however.
