Description: Young Jody adopts an orphaned fawn he calls Flag after a fatal encounter with his mother and makes it a part of his family and his best friend. But life in the Florida backwoods is harsh, and so, as his family fights off wolves, bears, and even alligators, and faces failure in their tenuous subsistence farming, Jody must finally part with his dear animal friend. ---------- Also contained in: - [Reader's Digest Best Loved Books for Young Readers: Volume Nine](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL15158482W)
