When she turns fourteen next year, she'll begin an apprenticeship to become a real falconer. But when her parents insist she return her beloved falcon, Stark, to its original owner, Karma and the bird end up lost in the backcountry of Montana. With little food, she and Stark must endure dangerous mountain terrain, wild animals, injury, and a peculiar encounter with a troubled runaway boy named Cooper. Out in the wilderness, hopelessness and fatigue challenge any chance of Karma and Cooper becoming friends. but Karma and Stark's bond only grows stronger as they learn to hunt--and survive--together."--Page 2 of cover ER -
