"A worthy match for My Side of the Mountain and Hatchet." --Horn
Book, starred review "Rudd weaves an uplifting tale of connection
and found family." --Publishers Weekly, starred review "The
Outsiders meets Hatchet in this story that follows Raymond's ordeal
to both survive in the winter woods of North Carolina and attend
middle school without anyone finding out how he lives... Completely
devoid of cheap drama, this tightly written, understated narrative
tells its story through finely drawn characters, intensely
realistic atmosphere and setting, and a protagonist who will
capture readers' hearts with both his courage and his creative
survival skills." --Kirkus, starred review "This refreshingly
genuine book on resilience and survival will enthrall readers from
chapter one. Recommended for collections where survival books and
heartfelt fiction are popular." --School Library Journal
