Imagination…or Something Real? Fourteen-year-old Joseph has no idea that his life is about to change in ways he couldn’t have imagined. Things haven’t always been easy for him; his mother is a controlling tyrant, and he is having some similar experiences with a teacher at school. He’s learned to find an inner core of courage and resilience…and those qualities will be tested to the utmost when he embarks upon a wilderness adventure to prove that his beloved dog was killed by a creature that nobody else knows about. Joseph’s family accuses him of having a wild imagination, but Joseph knows the truth…the spirit of his dog returned to tell him about the creature, and Joseph is determined both to prove that it is real, and to avenge the death of his dog. Follow Joseph on his trek into the compelling wilderness of Water Box Mountain, as he moves from the nostalgic atmosphere of rural life into an adventure full of natural beauty, survival skills, and excitement. A superb read for young adult and adult readers, Burial on Water Box Mountain is a modern fable that the whole family can enjoy.

Amazing Story About Trusting in Oneself No Matter What!

This book I really enjoyed as it was such an exciting read, I could not put this book down from start to finish! The main character, Joseph is telling the story of his determination to find a creature (ape) that killed his dog. No one believes Joseph, but this does not stop him from believing in himself and his gut feelings and searching for this creature. .
This book is about a journey of a teenager who wants to discover truths in life and face his fears and learn. For me, I became so wrapped up in the story because the author made Joseph come alive!

What I love about this book is the moral/lesson: To believe in oneself and be determined to go forward no matter what. This is a fun read and an inspiring read.

This is a must read for all ages, for me, I loved the ending.

Highly recommend this book!

Other Reviews

As an adult, I enjoyed it, too!

This is a good book for boys, probably 12 to 15. Lots of suspense, and an exciting tale. It didn’t get five stars because the language, especially dialogue, is stilted in a number of places. I read it because I wanted to give a copy to my grandson, and I felt that the story propelled me forward because of the exciting plot. All in all, a good book, without some of the objectionable subjects in other books I checked out before finding this one.
