Synopsis
Erik is preparing for his first-ever hunting trip when he learns that his parents are being deployed to Iraq. A few days later, Erik is shipped off to North Dakota to live with Big Darrell and Oma, grandparents he barely knows. When Erik rescues a dog that's been stuck by a porcupine, Big Darrell says Erik can't keep him. But Erik has already named her Quill and can't bear to give her up. He decides to run away, taking the dog and a shotgun, certain that they can make it on their own out on the prairie.
Wild Life by Cynthia DeFelice is a story of adventure and survival, in which Erik learns about the challenges and satisfactions of living off the land, the power of family secrets, and the pain of losing what you love.

Review
“Themes of accepting change and learning to let go are woven into this winning tale of boy and dog.” ―School Library Journal
“Sturdily conveyed, the lessons are telegraphed on each page. . . . What really makes it stand out are the deftly folded-in gun lessons and easy acceptance of the way of life they accompany.” ―Kirkus Reviews
