Alabama Moon is about a boy named Moon Blake. He is raised in the forest by his father. He doesn't know much about civilization, but he can survive most anything in the wilderness. After his dad dies, leaving Moon alone, Moon's situation is discovered, and he's placed in government care. There he meets some boys and the real adventure begins. Look out for adult "bad guys" and some "good guys," too. Would you be able to survive on your own in the wilderness? Would you be able to evade the bad guys?
