TRACKER’S CANYON

Book ID/图书代码: 04003017C00009

English Summary/英文概要: When Tristan’s dad disappears, he puts his tracking skills to the test to find him — but will Tristan’s talents save him if it turns out to be a trap?

Thanks to his dad’s coaching, sixteen-year-old Tristan is one of the best climbers and trackers in his small town. He can read footprints and bushes like they’re security-camera footage, and fearlessly descend rock faces and waterfalls. But when his father disappears, leaving his mother too grief-stricken to function, the young canyoneer’s life goes into freefall.

Left in the hands of a well-meaning but incompetent uncle and a space-cadet housekeeper, Tristan finds life a struggle no matter how hard he works. When he nears the end of his rope at home, the teen decides to set off into Swallow Canyon in search of his father — only to realize that someone may be out to get him. Now the question is who’s stalking whom, and are Tristan’s skills up to the dangerous game playing out in the deep, shadowy canyon?

Chinese Summary/中文概要: Tristan的父亲失踪后,他将自己的追踪能力用来寻找他,但是,如果这是个圈套,他的这些才能能够救他吗?

多亏父亲的指导,16岁的Trisan是他们小镇上最优秀的登山者和追踪者之一。他能像查看监控录像一样解读脚印和灌木丛的痕迹,并勇敢地从岩石表面和瀑布边下降。但当他的父亲失踪后,留下了伤心欲绝的母亲,他的生活开始崩溃。

Tristan由善意却无能的叔叔和一个管家照料,他发现不管怎么努力,生活都很艰辛。于是,他决定前往Swallow峡谷寻找自己的父亲——却发现似乎有人在抓他。现在的问题是,到底谁在追踪谁,Tristan的技能能否帮助他在深山峡谷中赢得这场危险对抗的胜利。(LYR)

Tracker’s Canyon is a story about truth, friendship, family and resilience. A good read. (Canadian Materials)

Clues and revelations are well-plotted and the setting, cinematic. Descriptions of the extreme sport of canyoneering, a combination of rock climbing, cliff diving, and caving, are thrilling. (Kirkus Reviews)

Middle and high school students will appreciate this fast-paced adventure tale for the action alone. (VOYA)

A great choice for filling the dearth of realistic adventure novels for the middle-school crowd, and a solid mystery. (School Library Journal)
