About This Book

When a sudden flash flood separates a group of sixth graders during a camping trip, four very different kids must band together to navigate the wild and find their way back. With just one pack of supplies and limited outdoor skills, they face nature’s challenges and learn the power of teamwork and forgiveness. Adventure and survival blend in this thrilling tale of friendship and courage.
