(2) 4-6 Orphaned ten-year-old Moon was raised to be dependent on no one--especially "the government"--for help. His plan to join other survivalists is waylaid when he's turned over to the state. First-time author Key thoroughly inhabits his protagonist; Moon's story is told in homespun prose, with his loneliness bleeding through his determination to make it alone.
