Have you ever wondered what it is like to live on your own,with a gun and a dog you love?That is just what twelve year old Erik is choosing to do.I am doing a book review on Wild Life. It is a thrilling realistic fiction book by Cynthia Defelice.

In the book Wild Life 12 year old Eric has parents getting deployed for the army.While Eric’s parents are away he is traveling from New York to North Dakota to see his grandparents that he barely knew.He tried to persuade his mom to let him stay with a friend but could not do it.

On the second day in North Dakota Eric found a dog that got stuck in the face by a large porcupine. When a vet arrives,he pulls the quills out.Before the vet leaves he tells Eric That he can keep the dog until the owner can be contacted.That night Eric is thinking of names and comes up with Quill.

When the vet  calls the following date to tell Eric that the owner will come pick up his dog the next day,they…

I would recommend this book if you are 10 -12 years old.But if you are like me and like adventures I would read this book. I like Wild Life because it has great content and the story line is followed all through the story.Another reason I like this book is it shows all of the characters emotions.This book shows what challenges nature can bring,another thing is that it shows what judgement is useful and when.Wild Life is a 5 star classic read.

This is why I think you should read Wild Life ,the story of Quill,Eric and a bold move.
