When Jack Baker’s father sends him from his home in Kansas to attend a boys’ boarding school in Maine, Jack doesn’t know what to expect. Certainly not Early Auden, the strangest of boys. Early keeps to himself, reads the number pi as a story, and refuses to accept truths others take for granted. Jack, feeling lonely and out of place, connects with Early, and the two become friends.
 
During a break from school, the boys set out for the Appalachian Trail on a quest for a great black bear. As Jack and Early travel deeper into the mountains, they meet peculiar and dangerous characters, and they make some shocking discoveries. But their adventure is only just beginning. Will Jack’s and Early’s friendship last the journey? Can the boys make it home alive?

杰克失去了母亲，当父亲送他到一所男子寄宿学校就读时，他从没预料到自己将会和学校里*奇怪的男孩厄尔利开启一场穿越缅因州丛林的冒险旅程。厄尔利相信圆周率π是个永无终结的故事，相信阿巴拉契亚大熊和木纹响尾蛇还未灭绝，尤其相信战斗英雄哥哥费希尔还未死去。带着这样的信念，厄尔利作为领航者，带领杰克一起踏上了追寻之旅。
       在丛林中，他们遇到了海盗、火山、白鲸、百岁妇人、隐藏的洞穴、大黑熊、响尾蛇，而这些竟与π的故事离奇吻合，甚至成了π的故事中的一部分……他们会走出这片丛林，安然无恙地回到家吗？
