Spring. The ice roads are breaking apart. Everything Slate trusted last week is a trap today.
Now she has a trainee - a young lynx named Aurora with new gear, a satellite tablet, and the confidence to ignore every warning Slate gives her.
Experience can't be skipped. But it can be shared.
A story about patience, mentorship, and learning where the solid ground is.
Slate: The Newcomer is Book 4 of The Slate Series - illustrated early reader chapter books for ages 6-8, featuring a brave Maine Coon cat who operates a heavy tracked vehicle in the Alaskan backcountry.
