Lost on a Mountain in Maine

The title isn't real exciting, but the book is! 12 year old Donn Fendler told his story to Joseph B. Egan of his harrowing experience being lost on a Maine mountain called Katahdin. Later, one of the searchers describes the mountain: "Before I had reached the summit, I was fully convinced that Mt. Katahdin's ruggedness had been grossly understated and that I was climbing the toughest mountain east of the Rockies." Read about how Donn survived nine days on this mountain, surprising all but the moms around the U.S. and his parents, who never lost hope that he was still alive.
