Bearwalker by Joseph Bruchac

Bearwalker
By Joseph Bruchac; illustrated by Sally Wern Comport

Baron knows that the "Bearwalker" is a half-human, half-animal beast that appears in tales told by his Mohawk people. When a school camping trip goes wrong, however, he finds himself facing a real, live monster who is just as deadly and dangerous as the creature from the legend.
