Rascal By : Sterling North
Author : Sterling North
Sterling North wrote the book Rascal because this was actually a true story about the adventures he has in his neighborhood and his observations as a boy. The reason why he got the racoons was because he was longing for a word from his brother Hershel .

Also in the book it said that he got the spanish flu and that his mom always wanted him to be a writer and his sister jessica is a acutual poet

The theme in rascal is not about friendship but about loss, and the quality of it.

I think the book Rascal is a first person book because it say's a lot of my, I, we, me
I also know that the book Rascal is 1st person because it only talk's about what the boy thinks and say's and what he think's that Rascal is trying to say
