Wild Man Island

On the last night of an Alaskan sea kayak trip, fourteen-year-old Andy Galloway sneaks away from camp to visit the place where his father died while searching for an archaeological discovery. A sudden storm strands him on a wild island, inhabited only by grizzly bears. Andy unexpectedly encounters a wild dog and its mysterious master, a hermit, and soon finds himself drawn into the same quest that claimed his father’s life. Author’s note.
