Description
From the early days of the Minnesota lumber industry comes Mike Stoesz's Walter Meets Mack, a historically accurate young adult novel of growth and discovery. At a time of immigration and change, young Finnish boy named Walter ''Mack'' Myllamaki will embrace his past while looking to the future. From the hustle-bustle city of Minneapolis to the wild country of Minnesota's dense forests, Mack must keep his wits about him if he is to survive in a world where nothing--well, almost nothing--is as it seems.
About the Author: Michael Stoesz is a teacher in the Minneapolis public schools, and has a master's degree in natural science and environmental education from Hamline University. He lives in the Prospect Park neighborhood of Minneapolis with his wife, Amy; daughter, Eva; and three chickens, Jeckel, Speckle, and Freckle. A former bicycle messenger, he used to sneak out on his mountain bike on the Stone Arch Bridge before it was restored as a public space.
