REVIEW OF 'FALCON WILD'
FROM TERRY LYNN JOHNSON!
Similarly to her book Ice Dogs, Terry Lynn Johnson's new novel FALCON WILD, out this September in book stores, reads as fast as falcons fly. Grittier than her previous reads, this thrillingly dynamic adventure teaches readers, both young and old, that they can find help,
support and even self esteem in nature if they learn to listen to it and respect it. Drawing up a very convincing lead character Johnson again
manages to bring us a thoroughly appealing and educational story while wrapping up danger and frights in a lovely layer of humour and positivity and thus making it a perfectly suitable read for teenagers and young adults.

FALCON WILD
13 yearold Karma is lost in the back country of Montana with her falcon, Stark, and a troubled runaway boy named Cooper. She's desperate to find help for her dad and brother after they find themselves in a terrible accident on a back road. Karma wouldn't be in this predicament if her parents hadn't insisted on returning Stark to the bird's original owner. Karma's dreams
of becoming
an apprentice falconer will never be the same when she has to give
Stark back. Lost in the wild, her bond with the tamed falcon only grows
stronger. All the while, Cooper gets his own lessons on how to trust in
newfound friendship.
Both Karma's and Cooper's mettle is tested
by mountain terrain, wild
animals, severe weather, injury, and her own waning hope as this
edge-of-your-seat wilderness adventure story vividly portrays the
special bonds that can form between humans and animals.
