About This Book

A restless boy weary of life in a quiet market town pins his hopes on a promised holiday to Norway and daydreams of bears and daring exploits. Family worries and thwarted expectations temper his enthusiasm and trigger a chain of incidents—over-confidence, a troublesome pair of boots, a midnight search, an open window, rumours, and a dangerous rescue—that put his courage to repeated tests. Siblings experience their own scares, and through mistakes, confessions, and practical trials he learns to temper bravado with responsibility and emerges with a steadier, more considered sense of bravery.
