A dramatic turn of events unites twelve-year-old Billy Gavin and seventeen-year-old John "Bearman" Redell, two boys from seemingly different backgrounds who discover that they in fact have a great deal in common - they are both runaways. Together, alone against nature in the rugged Alberta wilderness, they begin to deal with the demons of their pasts. When the news of a downed plane and a missing rodeo cowboy in the woods and mountains nearby reaches them, Bearman, an expert tracker who knows the woods like the back of his hand, becomes obsessed with the thought of finding the lost man. The boys find themselves faced with the greatest challenge of their lives. Do they have the courage to find the missing man? More importantly, will this adventure give them the self-confidence they need both to outrun the past and to embrace the future?

4.0 out of 5 stars
A well written book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Billy and the Bearman (Paperback)
I thought this book was very serious at times, but gave you the feeling that you were actually in the book at times, and I wanted to keep reading on to find out what was going to happen. All in all this was a well written book, and I would probably read it again.
