Praise

This is a tale of adventure and survival, but it’s far from grim; instead, it’s filled with effervescent writing and humorous dialogue. . . . If a story about three kids alone in the mountains with little food could ever be described as cheerful and uplifting, this one is it. . . . A sparkling tale of survival.
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Perfect for fans of adventure stories.
—Booklist

The plot—told in the third person and never too harrowing—is fast-paced and rich in setting. Sights, sounds, and smells are vividly delineated, creating a picturesque backdrop to center the cousins’ journey and its transformative effects.
—The Horn Book

Skilled storyteller Anne Nesbet understands what makes kids tick, and this book’s wilderness thrills will be irresistible to young readers.
—Literary Hub

A fast-paced adventure that forces three children to make decisions about survival and come to terms with some grown-up issues.
—School Library Journal
