During World War II, a little boy is sent to live with his grandma, a cook in a camp for workers building a road through the wilderness. When?: World War II Where?: A cookcamp in the Canadian woods Why?: He`s not really sure. One summer, a 5-year-old boy goes to live with his grandmother in a cookcamp. The camp is home to 9 men who are building a road through the woods. The boy misses his mother, but at the same time the camp becomes home--a special home where he learns to spit and rides the tractor. It`s a wonderful summer, but then he lets slip to his grandmother about "Uncle Casey" and she writes seven letters to his mother. Seven letters that she mails "good and hard." A short while later, the boy returns home.
