From the early days of the Minnesota lumber industry comes Mike Stoesz's Walter Meets Mack, a historically accurate young adult novel of growth and discovery. At a time of immigration and change, young Finnish boy named Walter "Mack" Myllamaki will embrace his past while looking to the future. From the hustle-bustle city of Minneapolis to the wild country of Minnesota's dense forests, Mack must keep his wits about him if he is to survive in a world where nothing--well, almost nothing-- is as it seems.
