Summary
Summary
There is nothing Seth enjoys more than riding his horse, Quest, through the frozen wilderness of northern Minnesota. But Seth's father, a game warden, warns that danger may be nearby. Someone is breaking the law by hunting black bear and moose for profit. While following animal tracks deep into the woods, Seth and Quest discover a moose cow and her calf. Suddenly, gunshots ring out! The calf is wounded and its mother killed. Seth and the poachers he was warned about have just come face-to-face. Now, not only are the forest's animals in danger, but Seth and his family are as well. Mary Casanova, a Minnesota resident, crafts an exciting tale filled with authentic, vivid descriptions of the great outdoors. Johnny Heller's gripping narration will have listeners checking over their shoulders as Seth heads deeper and deeper into a perilous situation.Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“The action is nonstop and dangerous, and it’s also believable. Seth behaves like a typical 12-year-old, underestimating risks, withholding information from his parents, and worrying about his place in the family. Casanova’s description of the frigid, northern Minnesota landscape is so chillingly vivid a cup of hot chocolate may be in order. Middle-grade readers will enjoy the adventure.”
—Booklist
“This is a fast-paced adventure story.” —School Library Journal
“Heller captures Seth’s desire to rebel against his stepfather Kevin. With subtle intonation Heller emphasizes Seth’s defiance, his collapse under pressure from his best friend, his righteousness in the face of big-time poachers. When Seth and friend are trapped by menacing game poachers in an abandoned mine, the plot turns dangerous. Heller rises to the task, making this audiobook perfect for listeners seeking an adventure story that delivers much more than entertainment.”

“Casanova’s first book is a quick-moving adventure that, without preachiness, shows the importance of knowledgeable gun use and respect for wildlife. The attention-grabbing action and emotional struggles of the hero will hook reluctant readers.”
—Kirkus Reviews
