Book Review: “Wild Life” (elementary fiction) by Cynthia DeFe-
lice: When 12-year-old Erik Carlson’s parents are both deployed
to Iraq, his big plans are dashed when he is sent to live with his
grandparents in the middle of nowhere: North Dakota.
This is a coming-of-age story about adventure and survival, and
living off the land with just a dog as a companion. It is also a story
about getting to know family and understanding how family secrets
can change and shape a person. Erik learns about sacrifices and the
pain of loss as he faces the challenges of growing up.
