John's Trial: A Survival Adventure

The dog doesn’t die at the end of this book. There are lots of books, great books, where the dog does die at the end. Books like Where the Red Fern Grows, Old Yeller, Marley and Me, Endurance, White Fang, heck even The Odyssey. In all of those books, it would have been nice to prepare oneself for the coming tragedy. So I’m telling you now. The dog doesn’t die. It’s touch and go a few times, but by the end of the story, the dog is alive and well.
The fate of the other characters is less certain. John, a scared city kid who grew up in poverty, surrounded by crime. John is transported to the Arizona desert to be raised by an aunt he never knew. Red, an old man who takes John under his wing. When Red is injured in the desert wilderness, will John have the fortitude and skill to keep Red alive through the night and get Red to help? This description won’t reveal.
But Sam, the bird dog, he’s going to make it just fine.

For readers who love Wilson Rawls, Jack London and Gary Paulson, comes a new coming-of-age, hunting and survival story in the spirit of My Side of the Mountain, The Indian in the Cupboard, The Incredible Journey, and The Nick Adams Stories. Outdoorsmen of all ages won't want to miss this thrilling adventure.
