Bookroo's summary

Jonathan embarks on a solitary journey over Hemlock Mountain, assured by adults that bears are mere myths. But as night falls, he learns the chilling truth: bears do roam the mountain. Armed only with a borrowed iron pot, Jonathan must navigate the wilderness and his own fears. Will he complete his errand unscathed, or will the mountain's secrets prove too daunting? This classic tale of courage and discovery challenges what we think we know about the world around us.

From the publisher

“There are no bears on Hemlock Mountain, No bears, no bears at all…” Or so young Jonathan is told by the grown-ups as he sets out alone over Hemlock Mountain. But as Jonathan discovers on that cold winter night, grown-ups don’t always know…And there “are” bears on Hemlock Mountain!
