“The King of Mazy May” takes place in the frozen wilderness of the Yukon, especially the Mazy May Creek. The story most likely occurs in the 1950s. Because of the time setting and what the plot is, the characters are believable. However, if the same were occurring in our day and age, it would not be realistic.

He also has a lot of knowledge on surviving and speaks his own language. Setting The setting of the book was all around. At times they were at the boarding school in Canada and building up campsites to stay in for the nights in the Nahanni Mountains. I think the time is the early 1990s or the late 1990s because they talk about how they want to go see Wayne Gretzky Play hockey and that’s when he played. Rising Action 1.
