The bear was close enough to smell. My breath caught in my chest as the . . . dark figure plunged through the brush, grunting and drooling, its thick legs running quickly toward Stanley . . . "Back away slow out of his sight, then run like the devil outta here."
In 1938 in the small farming community of Friendsville, Maryland, fourteen-year-old Henry Murphy and his brothers fight for their lives. Mysterious and courageous, Dr. Rufus Steele proves to be a powerful ally, and strong bonds develop among them. But larger questions remain.
Who is Rufus Steele?
Why did he come to Friendsville?
And how long will he stay?
