Fourteen-year-old Mickey Barnes' world is centered in comic books and TV until he must learn to survive being lost in the Rocky Mountains. At first tolerating his brother's Golden Retriever, Mickey and Sportin' Life learn to depend on each other's friendship as knowledge and experience gradually replace instinct and intuition. Life-threatening adventures change their views of society, and after living in the wilderness for eleven months the return to civilization brings a new challenge.
