Samuel is an adventurer, he doesn't quite realize it, but he is. He and his chums live in Michigan, near the lake and woods. Samuel is dared by his friends to get into mischief, and when trouble arrives, he takes all the responsibility while his friends turn and run home. He never gives them up.One day his friends dare him to break into Mr. Wallace's house. He is a hunter and lives in a cabin near the lake. Mr. Wallace finds him, and invites him to sit and have tea and crackers. Mr. Wallace is fascinating, and he answers all of Samuel's questions.  There are remnants of his hunting in the cabin, and he tells Samuel of his adventures.One day Samuel finds some suspicious animal prints near the woods. There are only two prints in the dirt, his friends try to guess what they are, but soon lose interest and drift away. Samuel continues to follow the prints into the woods, and this is when all the fun begins. I will leave it to you to discover what occurs, but you will be in for a few surprises!The author, Nathanael Green, has a vivid imagination, and his writing is precise and clean, and draws the reader into his story. The front photograph by LollyMarie gives us a vision of what Samuel and his friends look like. Children of ages from 4 to 80 will enjoy this story. It Is as much fun to read to a child, as it is to read for yourself. I hope this short story turns into a series or a book. Samuel is a boy with stories to tell, and lessons for us all to learn.Recommended. prisrob 12-13-13
