Summary: Stormy
Review: I really liked this book. I have read Stormy before as a children's book. I love how Jim wrote this book. I have also read three other books that he made. I wanted to read this book because I read most of the other books he made like, Snow Day. Through out the whole book I thought that Stormy was going to die. I didn't know what the theme was at first but then I thought about it and knew what it was.

Summary: Kim Kjelgaard does it again!
Review: Okay, so it's not a classic like Big Red, but who says classics have to be better? This book shows Jim Kjelgaard's talent as a writer and how you can take popular subjects into a book unique and different from every book about dogs out there. As a young child, I was a bookworm, but as I'm getting older, reading books isn't such a joy anymore. I knew I had to have this book though. It striked me as a book everyone needs to read, which it is. I read it in about a week because I couldn't put it down! It's a flawless triumph that gets right down to the bottom of your heart where the emotions rise until youre crying of joy. Once again, Jim Kjelgaard creates a fabulous book everyone is sure to love!

Summary: Stormy
Review: Stormy was a good book. I liked it because I like books with dogs in them, also murders. When stormy went across the ice I knew that was going to be a good part. Also when Bob Torrance died that was a good part. I knew these parts were going to be good because of the author's style of writing. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes dogs, hunting and murders.

Review: The book Stormy was very good. It was well written. It was good because it had a lot of action. If Allan wasn't in trouble with one thing he was in trouble with something else. In the middle of the book it had the most action.
I like how Jim wrote and described the words of the book. I could picture what was happening when Allan was fightig the pike in the lake. The book told me friendship and never give up. This book is for people who like a lot of action.

Summary: A Great Story with Outstanding Values
Review: Young Alan Marley struggles to survive on his own in harsh northern conditions, and learns lessons about interdependence, loyalty, friendship, and courage from a stray dog who is in a fix just as bad as the boy is. In addition to being a compelling story, the book has interwoven subtext about learning to get along with others, making choices that are most important first, not panicking in truly desparate circumstances, and having the courage to stand for what is right, no matter the cost. There is a love of nature and respect for wildlife that runs throughout as well.

Kjelgaard's gift for bringing the reader into nature artlessly hides the subtext, and makes for a wonderful read for any person over the age of eight. While I have read all of Mr. Kjelgaard's books, Stormy is by far my favorite. Although I first read it more than thirty years ago, I still pull it out every couple of years to enjoy once more, or to read to my own children.
