Sinossi
Colby Utterback is fifteen, broke, and invisible.
He stocks shelves at the only grocery store in Corbin, Idaho. He puts money on the kitchen table that disappears before morning. He counts his little brother’s breaths at night because nobody else will.
One evening, Colby walks through the back of the storeroom and steps into the Kentucky wilderness of 1781.
A man named Skunk takes him in. A one-eared dog named Founder chooses him. And for nine months, Colby learns to track, hunt, trade, and stand his ground in a world where survival depends on what your hands can do — not what your last name is.
When a catastrophic flood threatens a gathering of frontier families, Colby must risk everything to save the people who took him in. What he earns will change his family’s life. What he learns will change his.
Colby Utterback: Finding His Place is a portal fantasy about a boy who walks into the woods with nothing and comes back with everything that matters. Colby Utterback knows what people see when they look at him: the kid in the back of the room. Quiet. Forgotten. Easy to miss.
What they don't see is the storm inside — a boy carrying weight no one his age should have to bear, navigating a small town where everyone knows his family's troubles before he walks through the door.
What Colby learns over one unforgettable year — about loyalty, about earning your place, about the difference between surviving and belonging — will change everything he thought he knew about who he is and who he can become.
