About the book
Two boys, Awasin and Jamie, get lost and attempt to survive. Do they make it? Panting and gasping, the rifle clutched in his hand, Jamie runs as he has never run before. In the distance, he can see the Indian boy circling just out of the huge bear's reach. Jamie MUST reach his friend in time -- and his strength is running out.
