(2) 4-6 Colton, his mom, and his beloved Maine coon cat, Smoke, move from Idaho to California. Smoke disappears, and Colton ends up barricaded in a mountain cabin with (is it?) a cougar outside. Jukes is a risk-taking writer, and this novel's action and adventure coexist well with an introspective tone, lots of exposition, unusual settings, and uniquely direct characterizations.
