Millions of readers of Hatchet, The River, Brian's Winter, and
Brian's Return know that Brian Robeson is at home in the
Canadian wilderness. He has stood up to the challenge of
surviving alone in the woods. He prefers being on his own in the
natural world to civilization. This story takes place two years
after Brian had been stranded in the Canadian wilderness. When
Brian finds a dog one night, a dog that is wounded and
whimpering, he senses danger. The dog is badly hurt, and as
Brian cares for it, he worries about his Cree friends who live
north of his camp. His instincts tell him to head north,
quickly. With his new companion at his side, and with a
terrible, growing sense of unease, he sets out to learn what
happened. He sets out on the hunt. The tale of adventure
proceeds as Brian and his dog find what happened when a
murdering bear has gone wild. - 11, 12, 13 - Interest Level -
