Fogrunners
The most amazing job in the Archipelago!
Adventure, Opportunity, Independence
When Sylvan signs on to help Fogrunner, Bernhard Krummholz, retrieve a packtrain of unruly goats from a distant village, he thinks he knows right where he’s going. But a great memory for places can only take him where he’s been before, and learning to read maps is the key to success in his new navigational life.
When their mission goes wrong, and Krummholz is injured, it’s suddenly up to Sylvan to use all of his skills, old and new, to navigate their way through the perilous slot canyons, braided rivers, and floating bogs of the Foglands!
This new book by Alaska writer and orienteer Jen Jolliff offers entertainment and learning for readers of any age and navigation ability. You'll come away from reading Fogrunner with an increased understanding of and appreciation for map reading and decision making skills.
Fogrunner is a tale of adventure and growth set in a place where map reading and navigation skills are keys to success. There's more than one route to your destiny. Choose well!
My favorite thing about this book is how empowering it is - how Sylvan's world keeps teaching him that there are many different paths and that you simply need to switch your thinking to find them.
