afraid of the government and wanting to go to alaska that is thousands of miles away. only having some food a rifle and a wheelbarrow. you get caught a few times and are in jail. this is what happened to the protagonist in the story alabama moon. i highly recommend this book to readers that like adventure, action, and survival .
this guy named moon is a boy that lives with has dad and they don' t like the government. i like the character moon because just the way he dose stuff like he doesn' t care about a lot of things. another reason why i like the book is because the way they do the book like the writing .
the film is sweet and should still play well with young audiences despite wandering into cliched territory, complete with a forced courtroom climax that doesn' t reward the characters as you' d hope. but you still root for moon and his journey to find individuality and trust through tragedy at a young age .

in the path of civilization, moon quickly lands himself in a reform school where he meets the mean - spirited constable sanders (clint howard) and learns what friendship is all about. with the help of mr. wellington (john goodman), moon adapts and learns to survive in the outside world. “being involved with this movie has been the experience of a lifetime, ” said lee faulkner. “when i read watt key’s novel i knew it would make a perfect family film. ”
summary: living out in the woods with pap was all moon ever knew. living a life in the woods hiding from the government was not an easy life to live. after sadness strikes moon' s life yet again, he heads off to alaska where he will find people like himself. all alone, moon reaches many unexpected places through his journey as well as create friendships that he had never had. evaluation: i would recommend this for 4th grade or higher because the main character is the same age that these students

so mccanlies and his crew instead opted for louisiana, though the film remains set in the yellowhammer state. we get those same references to birmingham, tuscaloosa, mobile and other cities, but the film' s biggest problem lies in the fact that region it adopts never finds tangible life on screen .

i got the job of picking the friday night movie for us to watch with our two boys. alabama moon turned out to be a great choice. although our youngest drifted off about halfway through, our 9 year - old was enthralled with the adventure story. moreover, although the themes of death, anti - government sentiment and the realities of survivalism were treated fairly lightly, the movie triggered a few insightful questions from the kids - an indication that the level of the movie was perfectly pitched at their level of understanding and ability to deal with serious issues. a bit like moon himself, really. of course there was corn and humour bordering on slapstick (the constable is a caricature of the mean lawman), but it' s right at home in a gentle family film like this. and if you want your kids to gain some deeper insight into what real friendship means, look no further than moon and kit .
still, you wish other states' incentives weren' t so enticing that filmmakers would opt to tell specifically - set stories elsewhere. mimicking geography rarely works, and generic woods don' t necessarily breathe life into a region you' re depicting. so please come film in alabama, folks, even you must stretch your dollars. you won' t regret it .
alabama moon is an incredibly captivating book to anyone with even the slightest interest in the outdoors. the story of a young boy and his countless enemies and loyal friends along with his immense knowledge of the wilderness will keep you on the edge of your seat. watt key' s style of writing keeps the plot moving and the reader guessing until the very last page. on the top of my favorites list .

mccanlies gets to the heart of key' s coming - of - age tale of survival, tragedy and trust just fine through a series a emotional scenes that won' t have trouble connecting with most audiences, especially children. but it' s frustrating when a film with alabama in its title can' t find its production in that state, losing a crucial sense of place for that audience, particularly those from the area. so any reference to tuscaloosa, livingston or pinson ultimately loses meaning because the film literally won' t take us there .

directed by tim mccanlies (secondhand lions), alabama moon is big - hearted and sweet and likable, but it also feels rushed and truncated, as well as uneven in tone. it begins with some very intense, dramatic scenes in which an 11 - year - old loses his father and becomes an orphan, and then the tone settles on a rather lightweight, and even comical adventure story that stays somewhat inert; while there is much talk of going to alaska, most of the images consist of the boys hanging around in one spot. the story doesn' t really move .

moon is a 10 - year - old boy who' s been raised in the woods by his father. when his father dies, he has no idea who to trust or where to go, and immediately gets himself into trouble with the law. when i read the summary, i thought the story was going to take place a long time ago, but the setting is alabama in 1980. the characters in this story are fascinating and believable, and the story made me cry. i would recommend it to fans of wilderness survival (hatchet, my side of the mountain) or realist
