⛺ About the Book

Refusing to admit he doesn't know what he's doing, Harold gets lost in the woods and learns the hard way that true independence sometimes means asking for help.

Harold Mitchell is nine years old and absolutely certain he is a survival expert. But when a simple camping trip goes completely off the rails, his "I can do it myself" attitude leaves him stranded with a leaking tent and no snacks.

This is the story of what happens when ego gets in the way of survival, and the hilarious, mosquito-bitten reality of learning that real strength is knowing when to ask for a hand.
