In this Young Adult novel, 16-year-old Skeets Stearns is a farm boy from Vermont's rural Northeast Kingdom who finds refuge in the rugged mountain behind his family farm. Roaming the mountain has made him strong, like the legendary catamount wild cat. But his physical strength has yet to give him the courage to date pretty, popular Becky Winslow, star of the high school girls' track team.
