Agate and Buck set out on a spine-tingling adventure through the haunted Canadian woods to track down their missing parents. An ancient curse is set in motion and soon the pair are being hunted, by a shape-shifting creature called the Wendigo.
this was an awesome read..i know that it was really small but it was packed with adventure. in this book two kids agate and buck were tring to find their parents. there parents a apart of a tribe and they have a strong power. they go off to help someone but they wind up meeting the wending. the wendingo was an animal that was part coyote and part wolf, and it can also change its form to anything that it wants to be. i really dont want to give to much away, i would defanitly recommend this book.
Miles (almost 10) loved this book. I think it's a true testament to the book's mythological staying power that he said, during a spat with his sister, "You're being a real Wendigo, Elise."
Although my struggling readers in middle school ate this book up, I could never really get invested in it. There just wasn't enough story or character development for me. It is a great confidence-building text for kids, however, due to its readability, short length, and action-packed plot.
