Catamount Author:Virginia Frances Voight This is an exciting and informative fictional story. The author, who has written more than twenty children's and young adult books, has this to say about Catamount: — "I have never seen a puma outside of a zoo, but I have been studying these magnificent animals for years in books and in natural history and conservation magazines. In Maine, wher... more »e I have talked to people interested in natural history and wildlife, I have heard many rumors of the survival of pumas in the wild corners of the state. And so I have set Mishi-biji's story in a ficticious valley in rugged beloved country near where the Bear River flows through evergreen forests to plunge in grandeur over its rock ledges, and Old Speck and Baldpate Mountains bulk in eternal majesty against the changing sky."« less
