"The twelve year old narrator provides an immediacy that grabs the listeners' attention and keeps them enthralled." --The Children's Book Review

"This real life adventure compels the listener's attention all the way through to the final minute ..." --Horn Book

"Amon Purinton, who is 12 years old himself, does a superb job of pulling the listener into this terrifying story. This is a wonderful treat for all ages, but it's a particularly valued addition to the family listening library." --AudioFile

In 1939, 12 year old Donn Fendler was lost on Mount Katahdin and although 500 volunteers searched the mountain for days, he was given up for dead. But on the ninth day...he crawled out of the woods with only a few hours of life left in him. This is the riveting true story of those nine days spent alone, starving and battling the elements in Maine's wilderness. Includes afterword recorded by Donn Fendler.
