“Finally! A book that teaches real outdoor skills through amazing storytelling!”
It was supposed to be a simple rite of passage, not a test of Echo’s wilderness survival skills. Will his handmade hickory bow and lessons from his Native American teacher keep him alive?
Alone in the wilderness and badly injured, Echo fights for his life along the gurgling waters of Young Woman’s Creek. To survive Echo relies on lessons from his backwoods teacher, a part Native American woman named Luna Woapalanne. Hidden deep in the forest, Echo secretly follows clues to solve a Native American mystery that will complete a missing link in old Luna’s murky past.
Join Echo as he gains Luna’s trust and uses his knowledge of wilderness survival, bushcraft, and natural history to become a “Sure Enough Mountain Man.”
A thrilling wilderness adventure story for readers 8-108! Written by a wildlife biologist, It teaches wilderness survival, wildlife conservation, bushcraft, and natural history through page-burning storytelling. A great read aloud book for ages 5-8.
“We can’t recommend this book enough to families wanting to inspire a love for the outdoors, bravery, ingenuity, responsibility, courage, and friendship.”
“Please buy this for your kids - they will love it!!! After your kids read it- you should too….extremely educational and entertaining read!”
“The author’s writing of Echo’s adventures through the forest was so immersive, it pulled us off our own couch and back into the woods.”
“I felt like I was right in the forest with Echo and couldn’t wait to see what he did next. An amazing work of fiction that could be true, which made it such an incredible read.”
