When the great influenza epidemic strikes Duluth, Minnesota, in 1918, Marvens parents know they must send their son far away to keep him safe from the disease. So the tenyearold boards a train headed for a logging camp, not knowing if he will ever see his family again.

He feels very alone among the enormous woodsmenuntil he meets JeanLouis, the burliest jack of all, and they become fast friends.
