March of the Blue Moon Elaine Donadio

Eleven- year-old New York City boy Nestor Ramirez reunites with his father in Alaska on a journey of discovery, adventure, self-realization, and goal setting. With his good friend Kwan Min Park in tow, the boys visit the sites as they learn about the balance of nature and its precarious effects on the environment. Nestor finds role models to help him focus on GOALS - Go Out And Learn Something. In the end, Nestor's self-esteem is raised to the point where even he likes himself.
