In the remote, unforgiving landscape of central Florida, Ezra "Penny" Baxter, his wife Ora and their son Jody carve out a precarious existence. Only ever a failed crop away from disaster, life in the Big Scrub is one of lurking danger, wild beauty and the thrill of the hunt.
Jody's world is transformed when he rescues a starving fawn, who becomes his constant companion. But their bond is threatened when the yearling endangers the family's survival--and Jody is forced to make a terrible choice that will change him forever.
Winner of the 1939 Pulitzer Prize and an instant bestseller, The Yearling is a moving and richly evocative classic for readers of all ages.
"A literary masterpiece for all ages ... a tale of growing up, of love and laughter, of tragedy and loss and grief--a tale that is so compelling that it turns the page for you: The Yearling leaves you tearful, breathless, exhilarated."--Michael Morpurgo
