Features: In The Broken Arrow Boy, Brian is rescued before the summer ends. But what dangers would Brian have faced if he hadn’t been so lucky? Winter! The winter of the northern wilderness, the snow-covered winter, the winter of a lone man with no food, no warm clothes, no shelter to keep him warm—snowed in, frozen lakes, animals hibernating, fish trapped beneath solid ice. He can no longer hunt and fish as he did in summer. The boy with the hatchet—Brian—how will he survive? Still in his summer shorts, his breathable sneakers are torn, his jeans are in tatters, his T-shirt is ragged, and his windbreaker has been cut into strips for other uses. Barely clothed, what can he do? The small log cabin he built with branches in that summer—how can it protect him from the biting cold and howling snow? In this installment, how does Brian share food with a wolf pack, how does he shoot a moose, and how does his little pet step in at a critical moment to help him drive away the fierce black bear? Welcome back to the world of The Broken Arrow Boy—A Boy Alone in the Winter!
