Nicole Helget's book, The End of the Wild, is about the importance of natural resources(资源).
In The End of the Wild, 11 - year- old Fern lives near a beautiful forest in the small town of Colter, Michigan. Fern's family is poor and must hunt(打猎)in the forest for food.
One day a new company moves into the town. The company gives many new jobs to the poor people in Colter. But it does something bad to Fern's beloved(挚爱的)forest.
Fern is surprised when she knows that her best friend's father, Alkomso, has a job in the company. She decides to do a science project to save the thing that means the most to her—the woods.
