Wolves, bears, and a heavy
snowstorm are just some of the dangers that Daniel and Will must face alone.
It's 1803, and the boys and their father have recently arrived in Ohio,
following the promise of rich farmland. After clearing enough forest
to build a log cabin, Pa sets off for Pennsylvania to fetch the rest of
the family, while eleven-year-old Daniel and nine-year-old Will stay
behind to watch the land. Pa had planned to return within five or six weeks
. . . but something must have gone terribly wrong. Now the boys must survive
the winter with only an axe, two knives, a sack of cornmeal, and most important
of all, their ability to invent and improvise. But are they truly alone
in the woods? Read Cabin on Trouble Creek and find out.
