INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Wallace, Bill

Eye of the Great Bear

(4) 4-6 Although the premise is weak--eleven-year-old Bailey earns a reputation as a coward because he jumps at firecrackers and must find, and prove, his courage--this is an engaging novel about life in Texas and Montana in the nineteenth century. Readers will get a good sense of the hardships of daily life and the hardiness required of young people--and families--to survive.
