Amanda is a self-described social outcast and unfortunate target of bullying at school. Just about the last thing she wants to do is spend an entire week with her classmates on a white-water rafting trip. While on the rafting course that was supposed to be the best part of the trip, her rubber raft overturns, leaving her and her worst tormentor, Phillip, separated from the rest of the class. After almost drowning, they scramble onto shore to safety. Confused and cold, they wander into the woods and become lost; thus begins their weeklong struggle for survival. Their dire circumstance forces them to depend on each other and Amanda proves to be the one more capable of navigating the hazards of the elements. The journey allows Amanda and Phillip to confront their fears, understand the natural world, and get to know each other beyond their respective roles as outsider and bully. Thoughtful and insightful, In the Wild! portrays life in the wild with such realistic detail that it could also serve as a wilderness survival guide.Nordin, Sofia is the author of 'In the Wild!' with ISBN 9780888996480 and ISBN 0888996489.
