Heartwood Mountain, by S. J. Dahlstrom
Winner of the Western Heritage Award for Juvenile Book
"Written in the spirit of Hatchet and My Side of the Mountain . . . this Christian novel has a lot to say about being moral and honest without being heavy handed."
―Roundup Magazine, Western Writers of America
When thirteen-year-old Wilder and his friends Sunny and Corndog go down to the river for a horse ride, something panics Corndog into running away. Wilder and Sunny reluctantly return home without him, and the next day a strange man comes to Wilder’s house looking for Corndog. He seems to know an awful lot about the small, red-haired, foster kid's past. So Wilder, Sunny, and another friend, Big, set out to find Corndog before someone else does. If they succeed, can the group of friends convince Corndog to trust the world enough to rejoin it?
