alabama moon
by watt key tells the story of a teenage boy raised in the forests of alabama by his eccentric father . the author did a fine job crafting a coming - of - age adventure story about a boy finding his place in the world after his father dies and he is left alone in the woods . it ' s a cross between a buddy story and a wilderness adventure saga . the writing style makes it an easy read while also allowing for vivid imagery to be constructed in the reader ' s mind . despite the trouble moon caus

director tim mccanlies adapted key ' s novel into a motion picture , which premiered at the sidewalk film festival in september 2009 .
afraid of the government and wanting to go to alaska that is thousands of miles away . only having some food a rifle and a wheelbarrow . you get caught a few times and are in jail . this is what happened to the protagonist in the story alabama moon . i highly recommend this book to readers that like adventure , action , and survival .
this guy named moon is a boy that lives with has dad and they don ' t like the government . i like the character moon because just the way he dose stuff like he doesn ' t care about a lot of things . another reason why i like the book is because the way they do the book like the writing .
the film is sweet and should still play well with young audiences despite wandering into cliched territory , complete with a forced courtroom climax that doesn ' t reward the characters as you ' d hope . but you still root for moon and his journey to find individuality and trust through tragedy at a young age .
nice little family film that should appeal to parents and kids under the age of 12 . clean language , christian values and clint howard .

in the path of civilization , moon quickly lands himself in a reform school where he meets the mean - spirited constable sanders ( clint howard ) and learns what friendship is all about . with the help of mr . wellington ( john goodman ) , moon adapts and learns to survive in the outside world . “being involved with this movie has been the experience of a lifetime , ” said lee faulkner . “when i read watt key’s novel i knew it would make a perfect family film . ”
summary : living out in the woods with pap was all moon ever knew . living a life in the woods hiding from the government was not an easy life to live . after sadness strikes moon ' s life yet again , he heads off to alaska where he will find people like himself . all alone , moon reaches many unexpected places through his journey as well as create friendships that he had never had . evaluation : i would recommend this for 4th grade or higher because the main character is the same age that these students

so mccanlies and his crew instead opted for louisiana , though the film remains set in the yellowhammer state . we get those same references to birmingham , tuscaloosa , mobile and other cities , but the film ' s biggest problem lies in the fact that region it adopts never finds tangible life on screen .
in 1998 tim wrote and directed “dancer , texas pop . 81” . the film began as a low budget independent feature but john calley , head of sony pictures , purchased the film one week into production . “dancer” premiered with exceptional reviews , made a dozen critics’ “top ten movies of 1998” lists , and was a phenomenon in texas , where it played in theatres continually for seven months . it premiered internationally at the london film festival in november , 1998 .
i got the job of picking the friday night movie for us to watch with our two boys . alabama moon turned out to be a great choice . although our youngest drifted off about halfway through , our 9 year - old was enthralled with the adventure story . moreover , although the themes of death , anti - government sentiment and the realities of survivalism were treated fairly lightly , the movie triggered a few insightful questions from the kids - an indication that the level of the movie was perfectly pitched at their level of understanding and ability to deal with serious issues . a bit like moon himself , really . of course there was corn and humour bordering on slapstick ( the constable is a caricature of the mean lawman ) , but it ' s right at home in a gentle family film like this . and if you want your kids to gain some deeper insight into what real friendship means , look no further than moon and kit .
still , you wish other states ' incentives weren ' t so enticing that filmmakers would opt to tell specifically - set stories elsewhere . mimicking geography rarely works , and generic woods don ' t necessarily breathe life into a region you ' re depicting . so please come film in alabama , folks , even you must stretch your dollars . you won ' t regret it .
alabama moon is an incredibly captivating book to anyone with even the slightest interest in the outdoors . the story of a young boy and his countless enemies and loyal friends along with his immense knowledge of the wilderness will keep you on the edge of your seat . watt key ' s style of writing keeps the plot moving and the reader guessing until the very last page . on the top of my favorites list .

mccanlies gets to the heart of key ' s coming - of - age tale of survival , tragedy and trust just fine through a series a emotional scenes that won ' t have trouble connecting with most audiences , especially children . but it ' s frustrating when a film with alabama in its title can ' t find its production in that state , losing a crucial sense of place for that audience , particularly those from the area . so any reference to tuscaloosa , livingston or pinson ultimately loses meaning because the film literally won ' t take us there .
documenting justice focuses on issues of justice and injustice within alabama , while international documenting justice , for those who plan to study abroad , gives students the opportunity to tell social - justice - themed stories from all corners of the globe .

directed by tim mccanlies ( secondhand lions ) , alabama moon is big - hearted and sweet and likable , but it also feels rushed and truncated , as well as uneven in tone . it begins with some very intense , dramatic scenes in which an 11 - year - old loses his father and becomes an orphan , and then the tone settles on a rather lightweight , and even comical adventure story that stays somewhat inert ; while there is much talk of going to alaska , most of the images consist of the boys hanging around in one spot . the story doesn ' t really move .
alabama moon
by watt key is a book that couldn ' t really interest me from it ' s blurb . but i must say that once i read a few chapters i realized how strong this book is . by which i mean that it has such a great message which is clearly expressed by watt key . and that message is ; one does not need much to captivate his / her life , all you need is skill , responsibility , independence , and appreciation of what you have . i find this message to be perfect regarding the fact that this book was made for y

moon is a 10 - year - old boy who ' s been raised in the woods by his father . when his father dies , he has no idea who to trust or where to go , and immediately gets himself into trouble with the law . when i read the summary , i thought the story was going to take place a long time ago , but the setting is alabama in 1980 . the characters in this story are fascinating and believable , and the story made me cry . i would recommend it to fans of wilderness survival ( hatchet , my side of the mountain ) or realist
i chose to read this book in honor of my teammate who loves it - lauren waters . : ) i think that boys in particular would connect to this all - male character list , starring 10 year old ward of the state moon blake . between living in the forest , to being held in a boys home , to breaking out and living in the wild again , there is never a dull moment . it is also interesting to watch moon ' s friendships with hal and kit develop , since friends are really all he has . finally , knowing that a ten year old
