Explanation In Pursuance Of Books Alabama Moon (Alabama Moon #1)
I could trap my own food and make my own clothes. I could find my way by the stars and make fire in the rain. Pap said he even figured I could whip somebody three times my size. He wasn't worried about me.For as long as ten-year-old Moon can remember, he has lived out in the forest in a shelter with his father. They keep to themselves, their only contact with other human beings an occasional trip to the nearest general store. When Moon's father dies, Moon follows his father's last instructions: to travel to Alaska to find others like themselves. But Moon is soon caught and entangled in a world he doesn't know or understand, apparent property of the government he has been avoiding all his life. As the spirited and resourceful Moon encounters constables, jails, institutions, lawyers, true friends, and true enemies, he adapts his wilderness survival skills and learns to survive in the outside world, and even, perhaps, make his home there.
In this compelling, action-packed book, Watt Key gives us the thrilling coming-of-age story of the unique and extremely appealing Moon.
Alabama Moon is a 2007 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

i actually just read that book because my library had this one in it's original language and there are not many books in their original language for young readers.the book is about a boy called moon, who grew up living in a forest far from civilization with his father. When his father dies moon is 10 years old and now on his own. His father told him to go to alaska cause there would be a lot people who live like they did. The story is not really very good and i took a while to accept theI chose to read this book in honor of my teammate who loves it - Lauren Waters. :) I think that boys in particular would connect to this all-male character list, starring 10 year old ward of the state Moon Blake. Between living in the forest, to being held in a boys home, to breaking out and living in the wild again, there is never a dull moment. It is also interesting to watch Moon's friendships with Hal and Kit develop, since friends are really all he has. Finally, knowing that a ten year old
Alabama Moon is a good book that teaches you a lot of things that could help if you had to survive in the forest. It's a 300-page book but is worth the read. Moon knows a lot of survival tips that most kids don't. His Pap has taught him everything he knows. Moon has been watching his Pap how to do things since he could understand what was going on. Then early in the book, his Pap passes away from his leg getting infected after he broke it. Right before Pap died he told Moon to go to Alaska.

I choose this book because I had seen the movie and was so excited to hear that there was a book. This book is about a young boy named Moon who lived in a little home in the forest who had also lost his mother and father. Before his fathers passing he had told Moon that when he died Moon would feel loneliness, and that he would have to plan a way to get as far as he could from the law and protect himself. Moons father died the next day and after the burial Moon made a plan to go to Alaska.
Moon lived in Talledega Forest with his dad in an underground type of box that gave them shelter. His dad taught him survival skills, which he used every day. His dad told him that he should go to Alaska, because there were people there that were just like themselves that hated the government. After his dad died Moon thought about Alaska. How was he going to get there. He was ten years old. Maybe he could just walk there.Moon's life changed when a sheriff found him and took him to a home for
