Lost in the woods, two boys find a mysterious shack and a man with a hidden past.
Lost in the wilderness, Carl and his cousin stumble upon a secluded shack. Inside, they meet the enigmatic Foxman, a man with a scarred face and a haunting past. While Carl is eager to leave, his cousin is drawn back, compelled to uncover the secrets of the Foxman and the tragedy that binds him to the forest. What mystery keeps the Foxman alive, and what truths will the boys discover in the heart of the woods? This gripping tale of survival and revelation will keep you on the edge of your seat.
From the recipient of the Newbery Honor award for his contemporary classic, Hatchet, comes another page-turning, heart-stopping adventure. Carl and his cousin are lost and getting desperate when they find a shack hidden in the woods. It’s their only chance for shelter–but who could be living way out here? Then they see the Foxman. As he welcomes the boys, he grabs his mask–too late to hide his hideously mutilated face. Carl accepts his welcome, but is eager to leave the next morning. His cousin, however, will come back. There’s something about the Foxman he must know–about the tragedy that should have destroyed him, and the mystery of the wilderness that keeps him alive.
