(2) 4-6 MacLachlan traces the story of ten-year-old Jake's relationship with his grandfather, Billy. This is a farming family, and Billy, aged eighty-eight, still lives on the land where he was born. The story addresses time-sculpted themes--the bond between a child and a grandparent, death and connection to the natural world--and MacLachlan gives them her particular stamp of plain speaking and poetry.
