(4) 4-6 Joey transforms from a boy who sees the world around him as something to conquer to a young adult with an understanding of and respect for the natural world. The story's leisurely pace and descriptive writing may frustrate some modern readers; others will be drawn to a time when a boy could spend days in the woods with a dog and a hunting rifle.
