When twelve-year-old Donn Fendler gets tired of waiting for his father and brothers to join him on the summit of Maine's highest peak, he decides to find his own way back to camp. But Donn doesn't count on a fast-moving fog that obscures the path. He doesn't count on falling down an embankment that hides him from sight. And he doesn't count on taking a turn that leaves him alone to wander aimlessly for nearly two weeks in the empty mountain wilderness.

Young Donn Fendler, twelve years old and a Boy Scout from Rye, New York, thought the few steps down from the rocky summit of Mt. Katahdin would take him to his waiting father and brothers. He did not know he was about to begin a journey that would bring him close to death. Fighting off hallucinations, he crawled and stumbled on bleeding numbed feet for days along a stream he knew would lead downhill to civilization. He had no equipment and only a few berries and water for sustenance. His shoes and clothing became torn and lost. Here is a tale of excitement and inspirations, made all the more exhilarating because it was lived by a real person.
