SummerWild is the first of four novels, and here the three lads tackle the challenges offered by Nature at Pelican Lake, the summer playground of Buddy's youth. From an encounter with Slackjaw, a giant jackfish and denizen of the deep, to a chance meeting with Joe Starblanket, a native teenager who could become a valued friend, Buddy is exposed to hidden secrets and dangers in the outdoors, and faces harsh personal realities. An ignorance of the land and its possible ambushes, a fear of the elements because of a drowning accident, and a disregard for parental guidance â which seems to always lead to trouble â conspire to cause mayhem. THE ADVENTURES OF BUDDY WILLIAMS promises to entertain pre-teens (or tweens) and older folk alike. Grandsons and grandfathers, mothers and their young daughters, may all enjoy reading it to one another. Set in the early fifties, the series looks at a different time in Canada, and invites readers to reflect on the way our customs and values have changed â some dramatically. SummerWild is the gateway for later adventures in FallGently, WinterFree and SpringRush.
