The Hunted: A Mystery in Glacier
National Park is the fifth book in the National Geographic Society's
National Parks Mystery series.
Twelve-year-old Jack Landon's mother is a wildlife veterinarian and has
been called to Glacier National Park to discover why there is
suddenly a shortage of Grizzly cubs in the park. That is just one of the
mysteries, he has to help solve. The other is why his younger sister Ashley
[10] has been acting strange. She's been ditching him and going into the woods
early in the mornings. Alone. Plus she's been lying to their parents. He has to
figure out why. His search to unravel the truth brings the Landon kids face to
face with an enraged grizzly.
The
authors have sprinkled in a healthy dose of information about Glacier National
Park, Grizzly bears, the environment and illegal immigration while spinning a
fast paced adventure for kids to read. Kids that love wildlife, the outdoors,
and mysteries should enjoy this book. There is definite a message the authors
are trying to get across.
