Step into the shoes of eleven-year-old Melody Vega and her family, who visit Glacier National Park every year. Mel's love for the park, with its beautiful landscapes and wildlife, is a balm for her real-world troubles. But this year, with her mother absent, every moment in the park is a poignant reminder of the past.

Then Mel comes face-to-face with a mighty grizzly. She knows basic bear safety: Don't turn your back. Don't make any sudden movements. And most importantly, Don't run.

That last one is the hardest for Mel. She's been running from her problems all her life. If she wants to survive tonight, she must find the courage to face her fear.

Based on the real-life grizzly attacks of 1967, this bold graphic novel tells the story of one of the most tragic seasons in America's national parks ― a summer of terror that forever changed ideas about how grizzlies and humans can coexist in the wild.
