the long version

Publisher description: Karen Martin is a teacher of deaf children. The school year is over and her class is one of many embarking on a summer campout. Upon her arrival at Camp Conestoga, set among the tall tress of Northern California, Kare finds that six-year-old Danny Preson has arrived a day earlier with his parents. The next day she learns that Danny has become lost in the redwood forest. Without the benefit of hearing he is now trying to find his way among the shadowy giants. As Danny battles his demons, both real and imagined, the reader will begin to understand how lost a deaf child can feel, even when surrounded by loved ones. While Karen keeps a vigil with Danny's mother, she has time to think: about her profession; about Reed Daniels, the opinionated camp counselor; and about her own secret which she keeps carefully hidden away in the shadows of her mind.
