A new children's book called Buck Fever tells the story of a child left parcially deaf from an ear infection. The main character in the book penned by Cynthia Chapman Willis is twelve-year-old Joey who is a talented hunter but the pre-teen is more interested in playing hockey and drawing. Joey struggles to tell his father that he doesn't want to shoot a deer. Publisher's Weekly says Willis avoids "easy answers, clichés, and moralizing, instead focusing on Joey's inner struggle and the stress his mother's absence causes." It's for kids ages 9 to 13.
