The mountains are bigger than Hank ever imagined.When the Ranger family heads into the mountains for the first time, everything feels new-steeper trails, colder air, and sounds that don't belong to anyone Hank knows. Curious as ever, Hank follows an interesting scent just a little too far... and suddenly he, Gus, and Hunter are off the trail.Out there, the mountain has its own rules.With the help of new animal friends-a cautious fox, a fast-talking squirrel, and a watchful owl-the trio learns that exploring isn't just about moving forward. It's about listening, respecting the land, and knowing when strength isn't enough.Warm, adventurous, and full of heart, Hank's First Mountain Adventure is a story about curiosity, courage, and discovering that every place has something to teach you-if you're willing to slow down and listen.Perfect for readers ages 8 and up.
