Rascal

Who's the best friend you could ever have? An irresistible bandit named Rascal. Skunks, woodchucks, a crow named Poe, an absentminded father, and an 18-foot, half-finished canoe filling the living room--welcome to the North home! Rascal is only a baby when Sterling brings him home to join the menagerie. But soon the mischievous raccoon is ready to join Sterling in swimming, fishing, and camping excursions. They're partners and best friends for a perfect year of adventure--until the spring day when suddenly everything changes. SC, 189 pages.
