May include an excerpt of Northwind.

""From the living legend and award-winning author of Hatchet comes a laugh-out-loud middle-grade romp about a boy, his free-thinking dad, and the puppy-training pamphlet that turns their summer upside down. Twelve-year-old Carl is fed up with his father's single-minded pursuit of an off-the-grid existence. His dad may be brilliant, but dumpster-diving for food, scouring through trash for salvageable junk, and wearing clothes fully sourced from garage sales is getting old. Increasingly worried about what schoolmates and a certain girl at his new school might think of his circumstances -- and encouraged by his off-kilter best friend -- Carl adopts the principles set forth in a randomly discovered puppy-training pamphlet to "retrain" his dad's mindset... a crackpot experiment that produces some very unintentional results." --,Provided by publisher.
