Description In Favor Of Books Navigating Early
At the end of World War II, Jack Baker, a landlocked Kansas boy, is suddenly uprooted after his mother’s death and placed in a boy’s boarding school in Maine. There, Jack encounters Early Auden, the strangest of boys, who reads the number pi as a story and collects clippings about the sightings of a great black bear in the nearby mountains. Newcomer Jack feels lost yet can’t help being drawn to Early, who won’t believe what everyone accepts to be the truth about the Great Appalachian Bear, Timber Rattlesnakes, and the legendary school hero known as The Fish, who never returned from the war. When the boys find themselves unexpectedly alone at school, they embark on a quest on the Appalachian Trail in search of the great black bear. But what they are searching for is sometimes different from what they find. They will meet truly strange characters, each of whom figures into the pi story Early weaves as they travel, while discovering things they never realized about themselves and others in their lives.Rating Out Of Books Navigating Early

Jack Baker and Early Auden make an unlikely pair at their all boys boarding school in Maine. The one thing that draws them together is their loss, Jack of his mother and Early of his family. Together, they set off on a quest to find Pi and a huge mother bear wondering along the Appalachian Trail in Maine. This story is an interesting mix of boating, math (research into pi - 3.14), and wilderness survival. #2014hubchallengefor me, the idea of reading is something like an escape, don't get me wrong my life isn't bad, but you know human beings always want something else :/ sometimes(in my case most of the time) they want things they can't have.if you read, you'll understand that when you're reading it's like you can't get enough, you're always hungry for more, well i like to read, but not any genre. that's a little unfortunate if you ask me. in the case of this book, well it wasn't my genre , not my kinda book :/
Our whole family adored this book. We started listening to it on our move and finished it during commutes. The kids never wanted it to end. The characters and setting in this book are so well written. The narrator on audible is perfection, we all thought he made the story even better. Have to say personally I think this is my top YA book for this year. I loved it so much. I'm sad it had to come to and end.

Dear Heavy Medal Blog,Good luck trying to tear this book apart. I'm sure that it will be a part of your Newbery discussions, and hope first look at all of the amazingness that this book contains. Early is the type of character that once he enters a reader's heart he never leaves.Your friend,Mr. Sharp
3.5 stars. Lovely book, really beautifully written. Loved the characters. Just didnt quite connect with it emotionally like I wish I couldve.
Such an amazing book! It's in my number 2 spot for the best 20 in 2020, right after The Secret Life of Bees.
