Overview
The old cabin looked odd at first glance, as if it had been constructed by accident. The area surrounding it held far more promise for adventure. Tall pines, winding trails, huge rocks, and flowing creeks spoke to Braydon of unlimited opportunity to explore. He still had his doubts about this vacation. His dad was deployed, and it was just his mom and younger brother, Jace. Two whole weeks without video games. Moms don't know about exploring and adventure? Here, Braydon would learn to fish, explore, imagine, be self-reliant, and the difference between real adventure and virtual. He would solve a mystery, have fun with his brother, and learn his mom was way cooler than he knew.

Reviews
Lookout, Mark Twain, a new Tom Sawyer's in town! This book will delight anyone with a sense of adventure. Braydon and his brother, Jace, are forced to take a two-week vacation in an old family cabin in the middle of nowhere. No TV, no Wi-Fi, no electronics of any kind? A cabin that looks about to fall off a mountain and is built around a huge boulder? Horror! But every day becomes an adventure for Braydon and Jace. Every trek brings them closer to each other and to their mother, seeing and relying on one another in ways they never have before. They learn to fish, to horseback ride, and to pan for gold. They learn about family history by hearing about how this odd cabin, made from spare parts and pieces-even from cars and jukeboxes-was built by hand by their Great-Aunt Irene. There are even a couple of folklore mysteries that incite Braydon's imagination and lead him on a quest to solve the Greenhorn Mountain Mystery. - Ann Collins, Book Reviewer
