Eye of the Great Bear

The bullies called him coward. Even his brothers thought eleven-year-old Bailey Turnbull was scared of his own shadow. But one day, an old Indian medicine man made an astonishing prophecy: "Some men spend their lives searching for who they are - searching for their courage. You will see yourself in the eye of the great bear." What did he mean? Bailey nearly forgot the prophecy when Daddy got sick and the family had to move to Montana. Suddenly Bailey's whole life changed except the bullies and the "sissy" reputation that followed wherever he went. Until the day the medicine man's prophecy came true and Bailey had to make a choice that risked his life. . . Ages 8 to 12. 161 pages.
