Bearstone
Overview & Summary
Cloyd, a troubled half-Ute, half-Navajo teenager sent to live with an elderly rancher in the Colorado mountains, discovers an ancient stone bear fetish in a cave and gradually forms a bond with his gruff mentor, Walter, while helping to protect a family of wild grizzly bears from a professional hunter. Will Hobbs's novel is a coming-of-age wilderness adventure about identity, connection to the land, and unlikely mentorship.
