"Bearwalker" by Joseph Bruchac
"Baron has always been fascinated by bears —their gentle strength and untamed power. But the Bearwalker legend, passed down by his Mohawk ancestors, tells of a different kind of creature — a terrible mix of human and animal that looks like a bear but is really a bloodthirsty monster.
The tale never seemed to be more than a scary story . . . until a class camping trip deep in the Adirondacks, when Baron comes face-to-face with an evil being that is all too real.”
