Six-year-old Ben is very small for his age, and gets along better with animals than people. One June day in 1870, Ben wanders away from his home on Hawk''s Hill and disappears into the waving prairie grass. This is the story of how a shy, lonely boy survives for months in the wilds and forges a bond with a female badger. ALA Notable Book. Newbery Honor Book.
Annotation:
One June morning in 1870, a shy six-year-old named Ben MacDonald, who was more comfortable with animals than with people, wandered away from his family farm to the plains of Manitoba and disappeared without a trace. This story tells of how he was adopted and raised by a female badger who had lost her litter. A 1972 Newbery Honor Book.
