In this poignant companion to Elijah of Buxton, two boys united by tragedy find friendship and adventure in the Canadian woods.

A chance meeting leads the boys to discover that they have more in common than meets the eye. Both of them have encountered a strange presence in the forest, watching them, tracking them. Could the Madman of Piney Woods be real?
