WINTER DANGER

Newbery Honor winner Steele tells the story of young Micajah Amis, who lives with his widowed father, Jared, in the wilderness of Tennessee. With a severe winter bearing down on them, Jared leaves the young man with his late mother's kin. Micajah uses his survival skills to help them and learns how to live in a family. Richard Brewer does a fine job performing this well-researched and detailed work. He reads with a slight accent that is clear and easy flowing. Dialogue is performed with credible and distinct voices, and narrative is done with the same skill. M.T.F. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/NOV 05]
