Hey there! I loved the movie! granted My mother was the main character so I'm somewhat Prejudice It's about a girl who has a tough time fitting in because she's dyslexic and an even tougher time with her parents divorce. She Hates her step dad and isn't fond of her mother for loving him so she acts out in school by starting fights and pulling fire alarms and what-not. so her mom sends her off to live with her father in a small town in northern Canada. she has a tough time fitting in there as well but slowly grows to love it. She get's in to some trouble there steeling a bike and not doing her chores and thinks everyone around her is odd. she meets a poacher and her and her dad go out and try and stop him it turns around on her at one point though when he trys catches her (scaring the crap out of her- even in real life!) but her dad comes to the rescue! she meets all sorts of animals and behind the scenes gets to play with them in the movie there is a scene where she is sitting in the woods and a deer comes up to her and eats out of her hands. This part of the movie wasn't acting she was waiting patiently for it and it came to her and the camera man was just able to get a shot when some one noticed that she was playing out in the woods. another moment that you might like to know was un planned and humors is when she's trying to chop the fire wood. this particular scene took them forever to film because my mom really was a city girl and couldn't chop wood for the life of her so when the axe finally made contact with the wood she did a little dance. Now, might I add, you wont find a anyone better then her and chopping wood when we go camping. The Kodiac is as tame as plays in the movie with the cameras turned off my mom got to ride on his back and play with him for a while. The movie was really fitting for a person like my mom who has always been a huge animal lover. I remember once on one of our many camping trips we found a chipmunk (we think it had been dropped by a hawk to be eaten but got away with brain injuries) that she just didn't have the heart to abandon so we built it a massive cage and kept in in our spare room feeding it shelled nut and water from a syringe for almost a year. Kelly is a great kids movie
