Amazon.co.uk
Fighting off a pack of starving wolves, wrestling alligators in the swamp, romping with bear cubs, drawing off the venom of a giant rattlesnake bite with the heart of a fresh-killed deer--it's all in a day's work for the Baxter family of the Florida scrub lands. But young Jody Baxter is not content with these electrifying escapades, or even with the cosy comfort of home with Pa and Ma. He wants a pet, a friend with whom he can share his quiet cogitations. Jody gets his pet, a frisky fawn he calls Flag, but that's not all. With Flag comes a year of life lessons, frolicking times, and achingly hard decisions. This powerful book is as compelling now as when it was written over 60 years ago. Read simply as a naturalist study of the Florida interior, it fascinates and entices. Add the heart-stopping adventure and heart-wrenching human elements and this is a classic well worth its Pulitzer Prize. Earthy dialect and homespun wisdom season the story, giving it a unique and unforgettable flavour, and N.C. Wyeth's warm, soft illustrations capture an era of rough subsistence and sweet survival. (Age 12 and older) --Emilie Coulter

I read this book when I was about 13, and thought it was sort of boring, but ok. Despite being very well-read, I had a hard time getting through it, because it was so long, and the plot so rambling. I just read it as an adult. This book is terrific. The characters are great, the atmosphere is thick as soup, and the story is gripping. It's also very wise, and makes you appreciate GENUINELY rural life. Great book.

I really enjoyed reading this book because it was
an exciting adventure. It was hard to read in one week. This book is about a young boy named Jody who wants a pet of his own in the worst way. One day while Jody is hunting with his father Penney for a bear named Slewfoot in the backwoods of Florida, his father gets bitten by a rattlesnake on his arm. Penney quickly kills a grazing doe and uses her liver to remove the poison from his wound. The boy discovers that the doe had a fawn and convinces his father to allow him to keep the yearling. Jody is forced to decide the fate of his charished pet fawn after it has grown because it continues to eat the poor family's crops. Jody
runs away from home for a short time after his mother kills his fawn "Flag" [after his white tail] because Jody believes that his mother intended to shoot it. The book has a main theme of facing difficult times and pulling through them. Jody faces the death of a neighbor friend named Fodder-wing, the death of his beloved pet, the near-death of his father and also, his own near- death experience after he runs away from home. Some men rescue him and Jody returns home and appoligizes to his mother and father. Jody agrees to stay on the farm and help his father instead of going to sea. I loved this story, every page.

This is one of the best books I've ever read; the characters are vivid, the story is engrossing, the depiction of life in a remote rural area is authentic. But even though the relationship between a young boy and his pet deer plays a primary role this book does not strike me as being a "children's" book. It is lengthy and contains adult themes more suitable for a book meant for more mature readers. Death, extreme hardship, starvation, attempted murder...this a kiddy story? I dismissed reading this book years ago because I thought, oh well, the story of a boy and his deer, ho hum, not interested. Well, this book has MUCH more depth than that. The review by younger readers who proclaim this book "boring" are not old enough to appreciate it. I would recommend this book to anyone mature enough to understands it's appeal and deeper meaning.
