Bear Adventure (2013)
“She had been so focused on whatever it was out there on the lake that she hadn’t heard her cousin return.
The scream made the two heads – belonging to the pair of beavers who had created this lake, and very much felt that they owned it and that anyone who wanted to camp there should really ask their permission – dip below the tranquil surface of the water.
‘Frazer!’ yelled Amazon. ‘Don’t sneak up on people like that. It frightened Goldilocks.’ The little bear was still fast asleep.
‘Yeah, so I ...see,’ said Frazer. He had his arms full of pine branches, and there were four good logs, as thick as a leg, on the ground where he’d dumped them.
‘Right, two jobs. Fire and shelter. Fire first. Let’s get this thing started before it’s too dark to see what we’re doing.’ Amazon watched carefully as Frazer made the fire. She’d seen him do it before, but it was still fascinating. Something about the almost sacred process of creating fire transformed Frazer from a kid into a man – or maybe just from a goofy kid into a slightly more serious one.MoreLess
