This book is about a girl who goes with her grandpa and brother to a cabin in Glacier National Park. She was going to put their campfire out and go in after her grandpa and brother. She put the fire out and was about to head in when she heard a low growl. She turned and saw a tall, skinny grizzly. She backed away slowly until she got into the cabin. She got in and relaxed; she looked out the door and saw the grizzly there on the porch. (I won’t give anymore details on that to keep it a surprise) Later, she finds herself face-to-face with another angry grizzly.

This book was amazing! I thought it had a good lesson. This lesson was to respect and love your family no matter what circumstances because in the end they are the ones there for you most.

Katie loves her sister very much and her sister loves her back. This book will touch your heart.
