About This Book

A group of schoolboys organize a holiday hunting trip into remote mountain woods, using a string of rustic camps as their bases. Their outings mix sport and camaraderie with escalating wilderness dangers: tracking game, sudden storms, unfamiliar trails, and the discovery of a deserted cabin. Tensions deepen when the boys realize they are being watched and become entangled in a human plot that leads to capture and imprisonment. Through quick thinking, alliances among the youths, and a daring escape, the party confronts pursuers and resolves the peril with a final, decisive confrontation.
