Award-winning author Iain Lawrence presents this modern-day adventure and classic in the making, in the vein ofThe Call of the Wild,
Hatchet, and The Cay.
Less than forty-eight hours after twelve-year-old Chris sets off on a
sailing trip down the Alaskan coast with his uncle, their boat sinks.
The only survivors are Chris and a boy named Frank, who hates Chris
immediately. Chris and Frank have no radio, no flares,
no food. Suddenly, they’ve got to forage, fish, and scavenge the shore
for supplies. Chris likes the company of a curious, friendly raven more
than he likes the prickly Frank. But the boys have to get along if they
want to survive.
Because as the days get colder and the salmon migration ends, survival
will take more than sheer force of will. Eventually, in the wilderness
of Alaska, the boys discover an improbable bond—and the compassion that
might truly be the path to rescue.
