Duck Hunting Dreams

Wilderness Ridge

By: Monica Roe

Narrated by: uncredited

For twelve-year-old Hailey, the upcoming annual family duck hunt is a chance to prove that she’s finally ready to join her family in the duck blind. She's also hoping that Cocoa, the excitable young dog she chose last fall against her parents’ advice, has what it takes to make a great retriever.

When hunt day arrives, Hailey is sure she and Cocoa have everything under control. But Cocoa’s inexperience spoils several good shots for the rest of the family, and the young dog risks being sent home from the hunt. And Hailey soon learns that willing things to go right doesn’t mean they will.

It’s a kids book let’s keep it that way

They implied that the mothers wasn’t on speaking terms with her brother because he brought his “friend” to the family hunting weekend. Why did we need this narrative. It was a cute book we really enjoyed it until this part we had to stop.
