Tyson loves spending time with his grandfather Gene. This year they are supposed to go elk hunting in the Tetons. But, when his grandfather's health fails and news of a killer grizzly in the Tetons threatens their trip Tyson and Gene have to get creative. In the midst of that drama there is the typical - one of two best friends becomes popular due to sports theme.
The book reminded me initially of Never Say Die by Will Hobbs because of the bear. This one had more heart with the relationship between Tyson and his grandfather. While I get annoyed with the best friend drama it does often ring true for middle school students. I enjoyed the book although the actual encounter with the bear seemed rushed and a bit sloppy to me. Overall a good read.
