Fawn

Zoe and her father find a lone fawn in the forest in this picture book for young readers.

Moving to a dusty old farmhouse in the country was not Freya’s idea, but her parents insisted she would grow to love their new life. Trying to make the best of it, she sets off to explore the forest that covers their acreage, envisioning endless adventures to come. There, she meets a creature named Fawn, whose soft voice and kindness lure her to him. Thinking she has made a strange new friend, she promises to return the next day—but Fawn has other ideas. Freya barely manages to escape his clutches and soon discovers that she is not the first child to fall into Fawn’s trap. Others wander the woods, their blank eyes staring longingly for freedom, tortured by Fawn’s grasp. Tormented in her own home but unable to leave, Freya must find a way to defeat the monster without becoming another of Fawn’s lost souls.

A young, sickly fawn shows up at Kelsey's house. Can the family save it? Students will enjoy this poignant story about a fawn, a girl, and her dog.

This is a story about a little doe that was born late in August and found herself being adopted by a loving family. Her experiences with the children of the family are something any child would dream of. Occasionally, she got into trouble as any youngster would do. As you read, we acquired all the necessary papers required to keep her but to no avail as the officers would not accept them. My intention was to let her grow up protected and then leave on her own when she was old enough. But the time we spent with her will always be remembered.
