Bear

Will Cogswell, a woods-wise boy of twelve, is spending the summer with his grandparents deep in the woods of Washington's Cascade Mountains. His grandparents are owners of the resort, &quote;Bridal Veil Falls Lodge.&quote; Two lodge guests, Jaime and Petey, challenge Will's abilities as a woodsman in an effort to get him to lead them to the top of Bear Mountain. Will gives in to the visiting boys mocking, and the three set out on what will become a life-changing experience. Bear Mountain lives up to its name, and all three boys find themselves in a frightening highly dangerous situation. The harrowing experience teaches Will some valuable lessons. Don't try to be someone different from who you really are. More importantly, Will is reminded that a person of honor always keeps his word.
