The book Crescent Moon takes place in the early 1900's.  The setting is in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.  The story is about a thirteen year old boy named Jeremy who has fun with his friends Eddy and Willie at the last log drive, until they have to go to work to help support their family.  In this book you will find out about wood carving, Ojibwe Indians, and much more.
