Join Flint on a wild ride at a two-week adventure camp on the shores of Kootenay Lake. There, he learns to manage his temper around a fellow camper who constantly tests him. Along the way, he experiences zip-lines, caving, rafting, hot springs, and glacier climbing — growing in skill, confidence, and self-control.

Packed with suspense, friendship, and inventive problem-solving, this story explores bravery in everyday moments and extraordinary circumstances alike.

Come, pick a pattern from my old cookie tin.
