Wilderness Ella: Boots Goes Missing

By Sunday Larkin

Boots is missing.
And Ella is the only one who noticed.

Every summer at Camp Wilderness, on the very first day, Boots - the campground's black-and-white cat - finds Ella.

Every summer.

Until this one.

No Boots at breakfast. No Boots on her favorite windowsill. No Boots waiting under the trees.

Everyone else says she's off being a cat. Ella knows something isn't right.

So with her nature journal and her two best friends - fearless, always-building Brianna and hilariously unimpressed Madison - Ella follows every clue she can find. A strange paw print. An empty windowsill. A trail that leads deeper into the woods than any of them expected.

Until they find out Boots was never lost at all.

She was taking care of someone who needed her.
