Summer Reading Assignment Post 3-Revolver

    "Even the dead tell stories. Sig looked across the cabin to where his father lay, waiting for him to speak, but his father said nothing, because he was dead.  Einar Andersson lay on the table, his arms half raised above his head, his legs slightly bent at the knee, frozen in the position in which they'd found him; out on the lake, lying on the ice, with the dogs waiting patiently, in harness.  Sig stared and stared, in his own way frozen to the chair, waiting for his father to get up, smile again, and start talking.  But he didn't.  They say that dead men tell no tales, but they are wrong.  Even the dead tell stories."

    This excerpt from the beginning of the book is talking about how Sig is alone with his dead father. His father is laying on the table next to Sig, after they brought his dead body in from falling into the frozen lake.  Sig had no idea the trouble his father had gotten him and his family into due to his greed.  The rest of the book explains the events leading up to his father's death and the consequences of his father's choices.  Sig finds himself and his sister fighting for their lives.
