About This Book

A group of schoolboys leave their academy for a winter outing that begins with sled races and holiday scenes and escalates into a forest adventure; after a railroad accident and a rescue, they journey into the woods to hunt, become briefly lost, camp out, and encounter wolves. Their exploration uncovers a mysterious house and a large barn, brings confrontations with unwelcome visitors, and leads to the exposure of a concealed scheme before the lads resolve the danger and return home.
