Publisher's Synopsis
Anna is five. Her little brother, Stick, is almost three. They are camping with their parents in Algonquin Park, in three thousand square miles of wilderness. But one night, Anna becomes aware of a shadow outside the tent: something hairy, sniffing - and moving. The next thing she knows, Mummy is yelling, Daddy is screaming, then she and Stick are hauled outside and thrown down. As the terrified children huddle together, they hear roaring, growling - then the sounds of a huge black dog cracking bones... Alone in the woods, Anna and Stick must somehow survive, battling hunger, the elements - and the black dog on their trail...
