About This Book

The narrative follows Westy Martin, a boy eager for a summer of mountain adventure, as camp routines and scouting camaraderie give way to a dangerous mystery when surveyors disappear near twin cliffs. Guided by veteran campmates and an old woodsman, the search along hidden trails reveals buried tracks, blackened embers, and a lost agreement that hints at prior danger. Tensions between youthful daring and adult caution force Westy into risky choices that test loyalty and resourcefulness. Episodes of rescue, sacrifice, and revelation resolve the mystery and deepen friendships while exploring bravery, responsibility, and the lure of the wilderness.
