Printz Honor Winner\n\nFrom the author of Newbery Medal winner Moon Over Manifest comes the odyssey-like adventure of two boys’ incredible quest on the Appalachian Trail.\n\nWhen Jack Baker’s father sends him from his home in Kansas to attend a boys’ boarding school in Maine, Jack doesn’t know what to expect. Certainly not Early Auden, the strangest of boys. Early keeps to himself, reads the number pi as a story, and refuses to accept truths others take for granted. Jack, feeling lonely and out of place, connects with Early, and the two become friends.\n\nDuring a break from school, the boys set out for the Appalachian Trail on a quest for a great black bear. As Jack and Early travel deeper into the mountains, they meet peculiar and dangerous characters, and they make some shocking discoveries. But their adventure is only just beginning. Will Jack’s and Early’s friendship last the journey? Can the boys make it home alive?\n\nAn ALA Best Fiction for Young Adults Selection\nAn ALA-ALSC Notable Children’s Book\nA New York Times Editor’s Choice\nA New York Times Bestseller\nAn Indie Pick\nA Bank Street College of Education Best Book of the Year\nA School Library Journal Best Book of the Year\nA Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year\nA Booklist Books for Youth Editors’ Choice Selection\nA BookPage Best Children’s Book\nA Texas Lone Star Reading List Selection\nA Notable Children's Book in Language Arts Book\nA Down East Magazine Best of Maine Book\nA North Carolina Young Adult Book Award Master List Selection\nAn Iowa Children's Choice Award Finalist\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0307930653\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0307930653.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Vanderpool, Clare\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in good condition with very minimal damage.
