An Excellent Book - Must-Read For All,
By "thec2001" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Incident at Hawk's Hill (Paperback)
Incident at Hawk's Hill is a book about a 6-yr. old boy, Benjamin, who likes animals. He imitates their sounds and walks, and is, in a way, detached from human life. His family worries about him, since he is very small compared to average 6-yr. olds. The book also cuts to a story about a female badger, which is very interesting and informative, who Ben crosses paths with one day. Then, one day after this all, Ben accidentally wanders away from his home, and the resulting story is suspenseful and heartwarming. The end, though some may say ends on a cliffhanger, wraps up many conflicts nevertheless. Hawk's Hill is a GREAT book, and an excellent read for children and adults. The book has a historically accurate forward. It is set in the 1800s near Winnipeg, Canada.

This review is from: Incident at Hawk's Hill (Paperback)
I thought that Hawk's Hill was a sad book, but it was happy at the same time. If you like books with very good chararcter development, you will like this book. It is a about a boy named Ben who wanders of into the wilderness and lives with a badger. it was a good book.

THE TRILLING BOOK INCIDENT AT HAWK'S HILL,
By A Customer
This review is from: Incident at Hawk's Hill (Paperback)
Incident at Hawk's Hill was the best book I read this summer. The story goes like this: One day Ben (six-years-old) ran off after a femal badger. He was told not to follow badgers but he did. Finaly the badger came to her hole, but that didn't stop Ben and he squeezed right into the hole. After awile the badger made friends with Ben and adopted him. She started hunting and bringing him food just like he was her baby.Ben's family got conserned about him and sent out a search party and eventualy found him after elevan days of looking for him. When they found him it took his older brother a lot strugguling to get his brother and it took a long time to stop the badger from wrestling him. When Ben got back home he told the story and the next day they went to look for the badger so they could bring it to their house and would let it stay Ben cpould have fun playing with the badger. IT IS AN AWESOME BOOK
