Bearwalker

<p><strong>From Joseph Bruchac the author of the award-winning middle-grade thrillfest <em>Skeleton Man</em> comes another creepy tale inspired by the folklore of indigenous Americans.</strong></p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p>
