His journey of survival is riddled with challenges as he copes with the weight of his parent's divorce and mother's affair. Eventually, he is rescued and returned to his parents, but his experiences in the wilderness have changed his perspectives on what it means to survive. In following Brian's journey, the reader is kept engaged through every challenge. I enjoyed this book because it was engaging, thrilling, and exciting, while also providing insight into what and why we cling to survival. This book is appropriate for middle school aged children and would be interesting for children who are into survival and need a thrilling, engaging plot.
