Publisher's Synopsis
Tim wonders away from home with his dog named Sam. They wonder so far away from home that Tim gets lost and forgets the way home. Now Tim must survive on his own without his parents in the wilderness. There were many wild animals including wolves and bears in the wilderness and Tim was scared. He had never been away from his parents for a night so he did not know how to survive on his own. Tim relied very heavily on Sam to help keep him safe. Sam got Tim into this mess by running off to chase a bird. So surely Sam would at least be able to keep him safe. Tim is forced to learn survivor skills in order to make it through the night as the search party is looking for him. Tim grew up in a hurry that night and this made him grow up fast. As nightfall came Tim set up camp but was afraid to go to sleep in case there were any bears or wolves around. There were many wild animals in the wilderness that would love to eat Tim and Sam for dinner so they had to be very careful. As Tim hears the wolves getting closer he makes a decision to get up and run with Sam. He had no idea where he was running to but he knew he had to find someone to help him. As Tim was running he began to get closer to the search party. He could hear them calling at his name and he started yelling and screaming at them. As he caught up to the search party he could see they were close and he was desperately trying to outrun the wolves. Would Tim catch up to the search party on time so they could save him or would the wolves eat Tim and Sam? Read this book to find out.
