About the Author
Rebecca Behrens lives and writes in New York City, where she also works as a textbook editor. She is the author of When Audrey Met Alice, which BookPage called "a terrific work of blended realistic and historical fiction," Summer of Lost and Found, which Kirkus Reviews said "this blend of history with mystery and fantasy with realism is a good find indeed," and The Last Grand Adventure. Some of Rebecca's favorite things are: the beach, history, running, doughnuts, and laughing.
Reviews
"A compelling and relatable middle school friendship tale for fans of survival stories." -- School Library Journal
"In this classic adventure story with the heart of a relationship drama, it's easy to root for the complex girls and their deep friendship." -- Booklist
"Fully developed characters and a brisk plot take readers along on a dangerous journey." -- Kirkus Reviews
"A deftly crafted, suspense laden, inherently entertaining, and thoroughly 'kid friendly' novel by an author with a remarkable talent for the kind of narrative driven storytelling skills that will keep a young reader's riveted attention from beginning to cliff hanger ending." -- Midwest Book Review
"Author Rebecca Behrens has absolutely nailed the feelings and voices of 12-year-old girls. She tells this terrific story from two points of view, so readers are immersed in their issues and steeped in their feelings. The girls face grave danger in the woods and must work together to have a chance. It's difficult and makes a great survivor story with plenty of tension. Don't miss this." -- Manhattan Book Review
"Writing with a genuine love for the Wisconsin wilderness, author Rebecca Behrens remembers what it feels like to be a middle schooler. The deeper readers go into the woods with Joss and Alex, the more they'll be rooting for the girls' survival -- and the salvaging of their friendship. " -- --Caroline Starr Rose, author of May B. and Jasper and the Riddle of Riley's Mine
"Thrills - the kind you get from a wild tube ride through the rapids - and chills - the kind you get struggling to stay alive in the woods in wet swimsuits - are what we've come to expect from Rebecca Behren's truly exceptional survival tales. Add this one to your must read list! " -- --Rodman Philbrick, author of Freak the Mighty and Wildfire
"A masterful and realistic portrayal of the descent into survival mode, told with authentic voice and ominous details, yet still managing to read like a love letter to the Northwoods." -- --Terry Lynn Johnson, author of Ice Dogs and Dog Driven
"Behrens plays fair with both the friendship drama and the survival story, and each protagonist's voice is astute and true to her own perspective" -- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
