Product Description
Grizzly cubs are missing from Montana's Glacier National Park, and the Landon family is there to help figure out why. But for 12-year-old Jack, the real mystery is his sister Ashley's strange behavior. What was she doing in the woods alone so early in the morning? And why did she lie to their parents? Challenging Ashley, Jack discovers she has been sneaking food to a 10-year-old runaway from Mexico. After listening to Miguel's story, Jack decides to help too. The compelling plot builds to a spine-chilling climax as the kids run for their lives, desperately trying to escape an enraged mother grizzly who holds the key to the park's present mystery. Includes a detailed park map.

 Simplistic Story and Characters March 14, 2007
Jack and Ashley are on a camping trip to Glacier National park with their parents. Jack is happy just to have his parents to himself, without any of the foster kids they usually have around. His mother is excited to help solve the mystery of why there are fewer and fewer grizzly bear cubs in the park. Ashley is terrified, though--she read a book about grizzly bears attacking people, and now she can't get it out of her head.
Jack thinks something else is strange with his sister, though. And when she convinces her parents to leave her and Jack alone at the campsite one day, Jack's suspicions about his sister keeping a secret are confirmed. But Ashley's secret suddenly seems unimportant when they are plunged into a dangerous situation.
The story was decent, if a bit simplistic. I thought that Jack and Ashley were a bit too good to be true, though. They were basically nice to each other, plus enthusiastic about their camping trip, plus respectful of and loving toward their parents... there was little room for character growth.
 Ryan's review October 4, 2006
The Hunted
I thought this book was absolutely great. It had excellent detail and was very suspenseful.
This book is in a series, but I've only read a few of the others. I think this is one of the best ones because it is thrilling and suspenseful and it makes you want to keep reading and reading.
This is a book about Jack and Ashly and their parents going to Glacier National Park to solve a mystery on the missing grizzly cubs. They read a newspaper about a Mexican boy who crossed the border 3 times. Twice he got caught and got sent back, but this time they can't find him then Jack finds out that Ashley is hiding him in their trailer. The next thing they know they are face to face with a crazy grizzly ready to attack.
I recommend this book to someone who likes mystery books or someone who is 8-13 year old.
 Amber's thoughts December 7, 2005
I thought this book was a good book for anyone who likes adventure stories. The characters were people who I could relate with and it seemed like a story that could really happen. It was exciting when they got chased by the grizzly bear. I would recommend this book to my friends and I give it 4 stars (on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best). I will definitely read the next book in the series!
The Hunted by Gloria Skurzynski December 5, 2005
Jack and Ashley Landon are the main characters of the book. Jack is older and somewhat bossy. He is also an ameture photographer. His sister, Ashley, read a book she was not supposed to read about grizzly bears and she was very afraid of them. Also, she helps a mexican boy in this book.
The plot is when grizzly bear cubs start disappearing. Then, the Landons go to see what's happening. Then, Ashley tries to help a mexican boy named Miguel. Then, they find poachers stealing the bear cubs. After that, the grizzly bear mom charges Miguel. Last, the thievery problem was solved. Along, with many others.
The setting is Glacier National Park, several years ago.
The theme is saving the bear cubs.
The main reason i like this story is the fact that the grizzly bear mom and the rangers came to the rescue of the three kids.

the thing i liked about it was it had a good ending and that not only the adults where apart of the mystery. also how the kids tryied to do stuff by theirselves. i didnt like how the mystery was solved so fast. this was a good book and i would suggest you tead it. it is a good and intresting book.
