The Nathan Fowler series by Cynthia C. DeFelice is a pair of historical fiction novels set on the Ohio frontier. The books follow Nathan Fowler, a young boy navigating life in the early American wilderness where danger from both nature and people is a constant reality.
Weasel (1991) introduces Nathan and his encounter with a fearsome renegade living in the Ohio woods. Fifteen years later, DeFelice returned to Nathan’s world with Bringing Ezra Back (2006), which sends him on a search for a missing neighbor. Both books are rooted in frontier life and make strong read-aloud choices for classrooms or for kids who enjoy survival stories with historical settings.
