Additional information
by Ed Ferrell (Author)
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.
