“What you hear depends on how you listen,” is the message or
theme in the story Listen!, by
Stephanie S. Tolan. In this story 12
year old Charley Morgan sees a wild dog in the woods during her walk and
automatically feels a connection to it. Charley
decides to take on the task of taming the wild dog, which she names Coyote. One part of the Taming, which is what Charley
calls her task of taming Coyote over the summer, is taking long walks around
Eagle Lake, where Charley lives. On
these long walks, not only is Charley getting closer to Coyote, but Charley
finds ways to connect with her mother who died years ago in a plane crash. Charley connects to her mother by just
listening to nature and everything around her. I liked this book because I enjoyed reading
how Charley’s character kind of changed a little throughout the story, leading
her to become a strong and determined character. So read to find out how Charley does it and
follow her on her journey through Eagle Lake.
