YA
Fourteen-year-old Andy, on a southeast-Alaska kayaking vacation, sets off to find the spot where his father had years earlier fallen to his death. A sudden gale sweeps his kayak onto the inhospitable shores of Admiralty Island. A Newfoundland dog leads him to a mysterious cave inhabited by a "wild man." This well-paced, believable survival adventure story is enhanced by a map and an author's note.
