So Charlie brings home Blue Sky, a baby raven with a big personality.
Blue Sky imprints on Charlie and becomes a great friend and a source of
amazement to the whole family. Granddad, an old naturalist, is
intrigued, and he does seem to get better-at least for a while. But
caring for a wild creature is very demanding, and as Blue Sky grows,
Charlie must find a way to protect him from the many dangers-both
natural and human-made-in the rugged Teton Mountains where they live.
Weaving natural history, myth, and a family narrative about life and
death, Jean Craighead George demonstrates once again why she is one of
the most admired children's writers today. Blue Sky will take his place
in readers' hearts beside Frightful of My Side of the Mountain as one of
this author's most compelling animal characters.
