"Ian isn't supposed to have a dog, but a lot of things that shouldn't happen end up happening anyway. And Gather, Ian's adopted pup, is good company now that Ian has to quit the basketball team, find a job, and keep an eye on his mom as she recovers from the back injury she got at work. Ian is great at a bunch of things that aren't graded in school--he can track a deer, fix a small engine, and rewire a vacuum cleaner in no time flat. He will do all that and more to keep his family afloat and to hold on to their land. When a shocking turn of events sends Ian and Gather on the run, Ian's got to put all his practical skills to use. The stakes are high and the path forward looks tough, but if there is one thing Ian knows how to do, it's survive"--Dust jacket flap.
