Description
This gripping wilderness survival tale grabs young readers at the first sputtering of the small plane engine and does not let go. Fifteen year-old Ben Paul’s dream trip to the wilderness with his Tlingit grandfather quickly turns into a nightmare when their plane makes a forced landing on a lake hundreds of miles from anywhere and right in the heart of an angry grizzly’s territory. They survive the landing but that is the end of their good luck. For fans of Gary Paulsen’s Hatchet, this book delivers the same powerful, page-turning, scalp-tingling adventure.
Did the airplane engine just quit? Startled, Ben shot a look at Dan. He was fiddling with the controls. Thundering back to life, the motor throbbed again with its steady beat. Ben's pulse was pounding so loud in his ears that he could barely hear it, but he relaxed his grip on the armrests. Nothing to worry about. Probably happens all the time. Dan doesn't look worried...Then the backfiring began again.
Dedication – 3, Acknowledgments – 4, Chapters 1 - 33, Epilogue – 174, Author's Note – 180
