Daniel LeBlanc is living with his aunt Judith when he receives a mysterious summons. Convinced that his father, who lives out on the frontier, is in trouble, Daniel joins an emigrant group on the Oregon Trail to search for him. Daniel is often too pious to seem realistic, and others are stock characters. The ending wrapped in Native American spirituality is unconvincing.

F is for Fennec. The Fennec is a small fox. It lives in the deserts of northern Africa and Arabia. The Fennec spends the hot day in its underground den where it is cooler. The soles of its feet are covered with hair so it can walk on the hot sand.

The parched, mysterious deserts of the world are the landscapes for this alphabet array of plants, animals, and phenomena.

Author Jerry Pallotta and illustrator Mark Astrella invite readers to one of nature's most forbidding environments. And if you feel thirsty after reading about some of the driest places on earth, don't worry. There's a Water-holding frog!
