Reviews
“There is a great deal of information woven into this interesting, well-paced story. Forest fires (good and bad), politics and corporate greed all play into the tale, and Luther is a realistically confused teen. Young teens interested in nature, animals and ecology will probably find much to enjoy.” ―Kirkus Reviews
“Luther is a sympathetic, believable character. Information about logging, forest fires, and birds of prey is skillfully integrated. Environmentally minded teens will appreciate this look at current issues within a coming-of-age story.” ―School Library Journal
“This solid story set in Montana should appeal to readers interested in ecological themes such as managing fires in forests and protecting raptors…Collard is a biologist who knows the forestry management arguments, and through his characters the issues are thoroughly examined. Details of training falcons will fascinate many readers.” ―Kliatt
“The skillfully described setting of a small timber town in Montana threatened by forest fires pulls readers in. Information about birds of prey and forest management policies is interwoven into the plot seamlessly.” ―Journal of Adolescent and Adult Literacy
