The Sakoose compass
What happens when your entire world fits in your pocket, and then the signal dies? For gaming-obsessed Myles, a summer with his grandfather in the remote Canadian wilderness is a digital wasteland of pine sap and flickering Wi-Fi. He longs for his screen, scoffing at his grandpa's cryptic talk of 'real treasure' beyond gold and an ancient, crinkly map. But when his phone goes dark, leaving him utterly disconnected, the forest transforms from a boring backdrop into a menacing labyrinth. Tempted by a faded line on the map - an 'Old Trail - Abandoned' - Myles plunges into the dense woods, seeking a secret shortcut and an adventure of his own. Instead, he finds himself truly lost, facing the unforgiving embrace of nature. With only an archaic compass and his wits, Myles must navigate treacherous terrain and confront his deepest fears
