Description

Annie, George and Jed must overcome their differences on a school camping trip to complete an orienteering exercise and escape a mysterious dog. Sapphire Band 16

Quick Summary

When three very different classmates get stuck together on a school camping trip, they discover that surviving the woods means working as a team, especially when a legendary black dog starts circling their campsite and the orienteering exercise turns into a real-life escape mission. Kids will love watching grumpy Annie, sporty George, and jittery Jed set aside their squabbles to tackle mysterious clues, trust each other in the dark, and face their fears together while the shadowy dog looms. If your kid likes the mystery and teamwork of "Nate the Great" or the adventurous school stories in "Magic Tree House," they'll be hooked on this suspenseful tale. Perfect for kids ages 6 to 9 in first through third grade who are ready for a short chapter book with just enough challenge.
