The Secret of the Deep Woods (#17)

AUTHOR MacGregor, Roy
PUBLISHER McClelland & Stewart (07/15/2003)
PRODUCT TYPE Paperback (Mass Market Paperbound)

Description
It's summer, and Rachel Highboy, Jesse's hockey-playing cousin from James Bay, has come to Tamarack to join the Screech Owls on a week-long canoe trip into the wilds of Algonquin Park.

At the same time, the rookie hero of this year's Stanley Cup final is in a light plane that goes missing somewhere in the area. It is eerily like the story of Bill Barilko, the legendary Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman who disappeared when his plane crashed deep in the Ontario bush in 1951, just four months after he scored the Stanley-Cup-winning goal

When some of the team - including a terrified Nish - become separated from the others and find themselves lost in the deep woods, strange things begin to happen. A wolf comes each night to stand by the campfire. A mysterious stranger pays a visit. And a shocking discovery has Rachel and the Screech Owls wondering if they'll make it out alive
