Nick, a teenage survival expert, witnesses a murder and becomes the target of relentless pursuers in the Canadian wilderness. Armed with the teachings of his Abenaki Elders and an unexpected ally in nature, he must transform from prey to predator. Can he outsmart those who hunt him with modern technology, or will his ancestral skills be enough to turn the tables? As danger closes in, Nick's journey becomes a gripping test of survival and cunning, where every decision could mean life or death.

On his way to teach at Camp Seven Generations, a Native outdoor school, Nick witnesses a murder and then is thrown off a train. Remembering and using the teachings of his Abenaki Elders will prove to be the difference between life and death for him. Although his pursuers have modern technology to help them, Nick has something even more useful. In addition to the skills he’s learned, he has an ally in the natural world around him. Found, like the famous story “The Most Dangerous Game,” is a tale that focuses on being hunted until a way can be found to become the hunter.
