Bearwalker, Paperback/Joseph Bruchac

Contributor(s): Author: Joseph Bruchac Illustrator: Sally Wern Comport From Joseph Bruchac, the author of the award-winning middle-grade thrillfest Skeleton Man , comes another creepy tale inspired by the folklore of indigenous Americans. 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.
