{"product_id":"2940151088053","title":"Garden of the Bear","description":"Garden of the Bear by C. R. West is a fictional tale of young siblings Billy and Katie, ages eleven and eight, respectively. They live in the small town of Normanville, not far from the idyllic Lake Pumpkin where Will, Aunt Lucy's fiancé, owns a farm, including the lake and the woods surrounding it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe story begins with Billy dreaming, as usual; little did he know that day he would soon learn things he never could have expected and find himself in the middle of an investigation. Much of this information would come from an old man with long white hair that would come to be known as Uncle Noble and believed to be Will's uncle, and of Cherokee ancestry. He would share with them the secrets of the woods...of creatures, both seen and unseen...and how they work together to protect the tranquility of the land.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile this story is fiction, the author has woven a tapestry which depicts what can happen when unscrupulous people propose development projects...the results of which may not necessarily benefit the residents of the community.","brand":"Dorrance Publishing Co.
