Here's another review from this year's Sequoyah Intermediate Book List, There Will Be Bears by Ryan Gebhart.
If you like or appreciate hunting, this is the book for you! This book will be a hit for boys looking for realistic fiction. Tyson is determined to go elk hunting and prove his manhood. His grandfather Gene is definitely an outdoors man, and has been promising Tyson when he turns 13 they will go hunting together.
But the plot thickens as news about a bear on the prowl, attacking campers. Then Gene is forced to move to a nursing home where he can receive regular dialysis for his kidneys. Even though Tyson's parents are trying to make the best of it, Tyson and his grandfather scheme up a plan for hunting action.
Will Tyson get to kill his first elk? How dangerous can it be with an angry bear on the loose? I'm not going to spoil it for anyone!
Definitely recommend for middle schoolers. It's a quick and enjoyable read for those loving the sport of hunting.
