Go back in time to Ohio, 1839. Imagine you are a young boy in charge of your whole land while your father is away. You have to keep taking care of the animals and your younger sister until your Pa returns, all the while knowing something is wrong because he hasn’t come home yet. This is how our story Weasel by Cynthia DeFelice starts out. One night Nathan and Molly are visited by a silent, strange man motioning for them to follow him into the woods. Nathan knows it has something to do with his father, but is it safe? As Nathan and Molly set out into the woods, their lives will forever be changed. Something or someone is lurking in the woods, someone dangerous. They call him Weasel. He sleeps by day and hunts by night, and kills for fun. Can Nathan get in and out of the woods without running into Weasel? Can he save his Pa? Join Nathan, Molly, and Ezra on a suspenseful journey that will make you turn page after page. You won’t want to put it down!
