Publisher Description
Based on the true account of a boy's harrowing journey through the vast wilderness of the Katahdin Mountains, Lost on a Mountain in Maine is a gripping survival story for all ages.
Twelve-year-old Donn Fendler steps away from his Boy Scout troop for only a minute, but in the foggy mountains of Maine, a minute is all it takes. After hours of trying to find his way back, a nervous and tired Donn falls down an embankment, making it impossible for him to be found. One sleepless night goes by, followed by a second . . . and before Donn knows it, almost two weeks have passed, leaving him starving, scared, and delirious.
With rainstorms, black bears, and his fear of being lost forever, Donn's journey is a physically, mentally, and emotionally charged story told from the point of view of the boy who lived it.
Don't miss this thrilling survival story, a proven high-interest winner that pulls in readers the way Hatchet, My Side of the Mountain, and the I Survived books do.
Customer Reviews
Miraculous Adventure!
Truth is so often better than fiction and this account is no exception! Following the path he took, there is no way he should have lived. Two or three steps a different direction or a few moments more or less in any place and he would have perished. Truly inspirational.

This book is so good that I have read it two times and my wife said stop hogging the book because she wanted to read it really really badly so I finally let her but it was hard to let go of the book and I can relate to Donn Fendler a lot like I like to hike a lot just like he did and he and I both grew up in Maine so yeah. I would have to rate this book at a a five star because I like it so much.
