520 |a In 1803 in Ohio, two young brothers are left to finish the log cabin and guard the land while their father goes back to Pennsylvania to fetch their mother and younger siblings. Annotation. Wolves, bears, and a heavy snowstorm are just some of the dangers that Daniel and Will must face-alone. It's 1803, and the boys and their father have recently arrived in Ohio , following the promise of rich farmland.nbsp; After clearing enough forest to build a log cabin, Pa sets off for Pennsylvania to fetch the rest of the family, while eleven-year-old Daniel and nine-year-old Will stay behind to watch the land. Pa had planned to return within five or six weeks - but something must have gone terribly wrong. Now the boys must survive the winter with only an axe, two knives, a sack of cornmeal, and-most important of all-their ability to invent and improvise. But are they truly alone in the woods? Daniel thinks that someone is watching them - Jean Van Leeuwen's engrossing novel of pioneer survival is based on a true incident. Readers, especially boys, will be fascinated by the struggles and triumphs of these brave young characters.
