Loading... Trackerby Gary Paulsen
None. There is a boy and his grandpa that goes hunting every year ( )When I started reading this book I thougt I was going to enjoy it. I thought it was a book my eleven year old son would enjoy. The main character is John. He lives with his grandparents because his parents were killed in a plane crash. He usually hunts with his grandfather who has recently been diagnosed with cancer and is told he will die soon. His grandfather won't be able to hunt with him this year so he is sent out to hunt food alone. He is having a hard time dealing with his grandfather's illness. During his hunt he sees a doe and tracks her. He tracks her all day and into the night and next day. During his second day of tracking he becomes delirious and lays his gun down. He doesn't want to track her to kill her anymore. He just wants to touch her...to become the doe. He thinks if he can "become the doe" somehow this will change the fact that his grandfather is about to die. I thought it was all kind of weird! He makes it home after being gone two days and sits down to eat. His grandfather is proud of him because he did touch the doe. Tracker is a book about a boy who finds out that his grandpa is going to die and the doctors cant do any thing about it.so on the afternoon before the deer season he has to do chores and one of his chores is to take the cow dung and take it to the pasture for summer planting and it gets dark and a doe jumps out and runs off then the next morning he finds the same deer and tracks it and the rest is an amazing story about when death was cheated this book is a book for any one that likes emotion and adventure.The book begans with him staring at his grandfather thinking about death.His grandfather has cancer, but john just can't see the death. He is about to go hunting the next morning so goes to sleep early. The next morning he goes deer hunting he has traveled the swamp and could not find nothing.Then he heard the doe get up and take off.On the way there he finds her bed. It was still warm so he knew it hasn't been long since she'd taken off.
