description: Eleven-year-old Tucker Renfro dreams of being a brave Indian warrior. He and his best friend have even made plans to kill a deer in the woods near Tucker's house when hunting season begins.But Tucker's plans change when his nine-year-old sister arrives from Kentucky. He hasn't seen her since his parents got divorced seven years before, and now Livi wants to move in with the father and brother she's never known. Livi takes over Tucker's room and writes letters home to her mother, saying how wonderful her dad and brother are. At first, Tucker can't stand his sister. After all, he and dad were doing just fine living alone together. But gradually, Tucker becomes curious about his mother. Is it true, as Livi claims, that she wants them to live as a family together again? Is that why his father is trying so hard to get a job? And why Livi keeps imagining that they're getting along so well?Only after a series of accidents that culminates in Tucker's first deer hunt does he discover that fantasy and reality are two different things, and that the truth lies somewhere in between.
