Review
"Crabbe is a very well written novel, and William Bell succeeds in grabbing the attention of the reader (and keeping it). Other than a minor flaws, Crabbe certainly stands out in the world of young adult literature." - Curled Up With a Good Kid's Book
"It's been 20 years since William Bell brought Franklin Crabbe to the world of Young Adult literature, and yet, Crabbe's story, largely set in the timeless Canadian wilderness, is still an authentic tale of self-discovery and coming-of-age that will resonate with older teens. As in other works from this genre, such as Harry Mazer's "Snowbound," nature is the equalizing force that pares the individual down to the soul before beginning the rebuilding, and in some cases, the healing process. As Crabbe eventually realizes, "you work with the environment, not against it."
"Despite a couple of abrupt scene transitions, the emphasis on dramatic action makes "Crabbe" a good choice both for read-aloud and for teens with an interest in survival stories."
Recommended.
