After Sevy Anderson's father breaks his leg in a sawmill accident, the fourteen-year-old must take his place with the rough and tumble lumberjacks and river rats who harvest the white pine forests of Wisconsin.

Will the other men ever accept him? And will he even survive his first winter in the Northwoods?
