Story4.5 out of 5 stars 64
Karen Fine always knew that she wanted to be a vet and wasn't going to let anything stop her: not her allergy to cats, and not the fact that in the '80s veterinary medicine was still a mostly male profession. Inspired by her grandfather, a compassionate doctor who paid house calls to all his (human) patients, Dr. Fine persevered, and brought her Oupa's principles into her own practice, which emphasizes the need to understand her patients’ stories to provide the best possible care.

Story4 out of 5 stars 55
When a deadly plague reaches the small fish camp where he lives, an orphan named Leif is forced to take to the water in a cedar canoe. He flees northward, following a wild, fjord-riven shore, navigating from one danger to the next, unsure of his destination. But the deeper into his journey he paddles, the closer he comes to his truest self as he connects to “the heartbeat of the ocean...the pulse of the sea”.

Great book by G. Paulsen and great audio narrator
Reviewed: 02-20-22
When I started listening to this book I felt a little lost in understanding this book at first. I have read all Paulsen's books and knew it would get better.
It did! I felt a part of the book, seeing in my mind and feeling the emotions of the storyline.
I felt fear and other times the awe of Leif as he paddled his canoe through cold water as a pod of whales surrounds him.
I'm going to reread this book many times!

Sam Gribley is terribly unhappy living in New York City with his family, so he runs away to the Catskill Mountains to live in the woods - all by himself.

Sam learns about courage, danger, and independence during his year in the wilderness, a year that changes his life forever.
