About This Book

A schoolboy and his classmates form a gun club and trade campus routines for a rugged camping and trail expedition. Early rivalries and contests give way to a series of hazards on the journey: accidents, a broken train, steep descents, a desert crossing, a blinding storm, poisonous gas, a bear encounter, and a stretch of captivity in an unfamiliar camp. The group relies on courage, quick thinking, and mutual loyalty to overcome each peril, and the voyage closes with rescues and the resolution of the central mystery, along with a tentative new friendship that marks the return to ordinary life.
