Child of the Wild Wind

by Claire Garden

Joshua Weil is torn out by the roots when his mom goes off to medical school and his dad takes him to live in a rural commune. After being home-schooled for several years and spending most of his time with adults and older teens, Josh thinks of himself as almost a man when he turns thirteen. But the older girl he's in love with sees him only as a bright boy who can help her with her homework. The challenges he faces make a man of him, but not in the way he expects.
