A wild girl
with a mysterious past

When her adopted father is slain by a strange beast, Atalanta is determined to take care of herself. She is happy in the forest with only her friend Urso -- a giant bear -- for company. She wants nothing to do with the world of men.

But the ferocious creature that killed her father is still out there, and Atalanta can't resist the opportunity to hunt it down, even if that means she has to join forces with a group of hunters to do so. Atalanta must prove that she is as strong and brave as any of the others, as they search together for the deadly Arcadian Beast.

Synopsis:

Before they were heroes... The fourth title in the fun and exciting series created by award-winning authors Jane Yolen and Robert J. Harris. Atalanta and the Arcadian Beast is an adventure story from beginning to end, portraying the dramatic events that transform a girl into a legend, and a huntress into a hero. Atalanta's life has always been filled with danger, adventure and mystery. Abandoned as a baby, she was raised in the woods by bears until she was four years old. The woods and her animal friends are the things Atalanta prizes above all others. But when disaster strikes in the form of a vicious creature terrorizing the Arcadian countryside, Atalanta's desire for revenge drives out of the woods and on the beast's trail. Atalanta proves she is as good a hunter as any man, but she has a lot to learn about justice, mercy and her own destiny.
