PRODUCT INFORMATION
Summary
Baron has never believed in the Native American legends about bearwalkers--bloodthirsty combinations of bear and man. But on a class camping trip deep in the Adirondacks, he comes face to face with an evil being that is all too real.
Description
Neither human nor animal, but something in between
Baron has always been fascinated by bears—their gentle strength and untamed power. But the Bearwalker legend, passed down by his Mohawk ancestors, tells of a different kind of creature—a terrible mix of human and animal that looks like a bear but is really a bloodthirsty monster.
The tale never seemed to be more than a scary story . . . until a class camping trip deep in the Adirondacks, when Baron comes face-to-face with an evil being that is all too real.
