Bearwalker



__**Bearwalker**__ **by Joseph Bruchac** Baron's life is a bit confusing right now. He's the smallest kid in class, his dad is missing in Afghanistan, his mom has been deployed to Iraq, and now his class is going to a wilderness camp in the Adirondacks. What else could go wrong? He's just about to find out. Even though he's a Mohawk Indian, Baron really doesn't have much experience with camping and the woods. What he does know are the legends his parents and grandmother have told him. Is there any truth to the story that a person can become so evil and power-hungry that he can change himself into a man-hunting bear? And who is that "fake Indian" Walker White Bear with the bear claw necklace standing in the shadows? Read to find out how Baron grows to be a hero in more ways than one.
