HEARD #1 CVR C HUGO PETRUS CONNECTING COVER VAR

A heart-pounding survival thriller with a family drama core that blends edge-of-your-seat suspense with tear-jerking emotion. When eleven-year-old Owen Mayfield, a nonspeaking autistic boy with a vivid inner voice, struggles to be understood by the world around him, his father hopes a camping trip into Montana's rugged Bob Marshall Wilderness will help them reconnect. But as father and son begin to bridge the gap between them, tensions mount, local legends of a deadly grizzly spread, and an unseen threat stalks the wilderness, leaving a gruesome path of destruction in its wake. Inspired by creator Alex George Pickering's experiences raising his son Ethan, HEARD is a deeply personal story of family, resilience, and survival. [This is a co-publication with partner Keenspot.]
