About the author
The bright sun and the cloudless sky blind you for a moment. You don’t immediately realize where you are. But then you see the beautiful, blue lake, and suddenly it makes sense. You’ve found your way out of the forest.

As you march through the forest, your next discovery stops you mid-step. Up ahead, you spy a bear and her cub sitting outside a small den, dug into the hillside.
You peer toward the animals, afraid to move. You suddenly realize they’re the same bears that you and Kate encountered less than twenty-four hours ago. You’re certain of this fact, not because you recognize the mama bear or the playful cub, but because you can see directly into their den. And deep within it, you spot your blue backpack.
You want your bag, but you don’t want to deal with those bears again. What will you choose to do?
Venturing into a bear’s den is a dangerous plan. If anything happens to you, Kate will never be found. However, there are supplies inside your backpack, and you might need them to ensure your rescue. If you wait until the bears leave, you can minimize the danger . . . maybe.
