Navigating Early

Jack Baker is a boy living in Kansas, but to his surprise he gets sent to an all boys school in Maine. Jack feels extremely lonely and he becomes friends with Early Auden, the strange boy of the school. On school break the two go to the Appalachian trail, on an adventure to find a black bear. They travel deep into the mountains, finding strange things, and strange people. This book is actually pretty good, and I am extremely surprised by that. I didn't think I would like it, but it is a good book, and it is a little exciting.
