“There are no bears on Hemlock Mountain, no bears at all…” Or so young Jonathan is told by the grown-ups as he sets out alone over Hemlock Mountain. But as Jonathan discovers on that cold winter night, grown-ups don’t always know… And there are bears on Hemlock Mountain!
 
The Bears on Hemlock Mountain
Eight-year-old Jonathan lives at the foot of Hemlock Mountain. His large extended family visits often, including his Uncle James, who is just a few years older than Jonathan. When Ma needs a pot to make stew for a crowd, she sends Jonathan over Hemlock Mountain to borrow one from Aunt Emma. Jonathan is not so sure about going alone, because there may be bears on the mountain. With the help of newly acquired pot, he completes his errand with more than a little excitement along the way!
