Don't Shoot!: Chase R.'s Top Ten Reasons Not to Move to the Country Michael J. Rosen

"When his family moves to a rural area, Chase fights culture shock. . . . Animal rights activists and urban transplants will connect." ? BOOKLIST

Fourteen-year-old Chase Riley has just moved with his parents from Columbus, Ohio, to a farmhouse in the country, but it may as well be on another planet. For starters, there?s a plague of cicadas, but that?s nothing compared to the awesome appearance of deer in the woods ? or strapped to hunters? cars. Chase seeks refuge at his computer, blasting off droll commentary, until a freak accident involving his own dog changes everything. And that?s when he begins devising The Plan.
