MARVEN OF THE GREAT NORTH WOODS
by Kathryn Lasky
To protect him from  the 1918 influenza epidemic in Duluth, Minnesota, Marven is sent far away to a logging camp in the great north woods.  Frightened, lonely, yet determined, the small Jewish boy finds his place as bookkeeper for the burly lumberjacks.  Holding fast to his family traditions, he learns the ways of others and is strengthened by his experiences.
