Donn Fendler's harrowing story of being lost in the Maine wilderness when he was just twelve, was made famous by the perennial best-seller, Lost on a Mountain in Maine. In Lost Trail, more than 70 years after the event, Donn tells the story of survival and rescue from his own perspective. Lost Trail is a masterfully illustrated graphic novel that tells the story of a twelve year old boyscout from a New York City suburb who climbs Maine,s mile-high Mt. Katahdin and in a sudden storm is separated from his friends and family. What follows is a nine-day adventure, in which Donn, lost and alone in the Maine wilderness with bugs, bears, and only a few berries to eat, struggles for survival.

I remember reading the original book as a child in New Hampshire. I was very into survival literature along the lines of Hatchet: 20th Anniversary Edition, The Call of the Wild (Puffin Classics) etc. Reading this book brought that moment back to life for me. This is a classic Maine story retold in cinematic fashion. Whether you're getting this for a first-time reader or you're revisiting the story for the first time in a while, this is a beautiful rendition of a great story.

This is a beautiful book. The story is inspiring. The art is smooth and filled with life. It's hypnotizing.
I also love Ben Bishops other books as well. He did one called Nathan The Cave Man. I'm frustrated that I can't find this book on Amazon.
Get Lost Trail. Donn's story is wild. The fact that he survived being lost for that long is amazing.
