This book is about a boy who wanted to go hunting with his elderly grandfather.  His family lives with the grandfather, who promised to take him hunting for his birthday.  It doesn’t seem like a big deal until his grandfather is suddenly taken to a nursing home because of kidney failure.  He convinces his grandfather to take him despite the unending reports of a particular bear killing hunters and campers.  Dodging parents and lying to friends, will he be able get to the mountains before his grandfather gets too sick?

Opinion: 

I like this book because it shows the trust behind promises.  The boy was promised something by his grandfather and his grandfather showed him that nothing would stop him from keeping it.    It had certain twists and turns in it that keep a reader on their toes.  When something seemed wrong, it turned into something right on the next page.  The characters were realistic.  They had problems and difficulties like normal people.  I recommend this for anyone 12+.
