A mountain trail, a quiet bear, and a hidden berry grove.

When Brayden wakes to find pawprints on the porch, he grabs his backpack and follows the tracks into the forest. The path leads to Baxter, a friendly bear with a purpose, and to a trail of clues that point toward a special grove.

With kindness and patience, Brayden earns Baxter's trust and helps restore a place where the forest can celebrate. He learns that curiosity opens doors and care keeps them open.

The Brayden and the Bear trilogy invites readers into gentle adventures filled with mystery, wildlife, and friendship.
