Lost Trail

Donn Fendler's harrowing story of being lost in the Maine wilderness, when he was just twelve, was made famous by the perennial best-seller Lost on a Mountain in Maine. In Lost Trail, more than seventy years after the event, Donn tells the story of survival and rescue from his own perspective.Lost Trail is a masterfully illustrated, graphic novel that tells the story of a twelve-year-old boy scout from a New York City suburb who climbs Maine's mile-high Mt. Katahdin and in a sudden storm is separated from his friends and family. What follows is a nine-day adventure in which Donn, lost and alone in the Maine wilderness with bugs, bears, and only a few berries to eat, struggles for survival.
