About this ebook

Blending elements of Laurie Halse Anderson’s Speak and Gary Paulsen’s Hatchet, this gripping story from Kathryn Holmes was deemed “a page turner” by author Richard Peck and “an intense story of survival” by ALA Booklist in its starred review.

Sophomore Hallie Calhoun has just endured the most excruciating six months of her life. Once the rumors about her and the preacher’s son, Luke, made their way around school, her friends abandoned her, and as a result, Hallie has completely withdrawn.

Now on a hiking trip in the Smoky Mountains with the same people who have relentlessly taunted her, Hallie is pushed to her limit. Then Hallie, outgoing newcomer Rachel, and Jonah—Hallie’s former friend—get separated from the rest of the group. As days go by without rescue, their struggle for survival turns deadly. Stranded in the wilderness, the three have no choice but to trust one another in order to stay alive…and for Hallie, that means opening up about what really happened that night with Luke.

From the catty atmosphere of high school to the unpredictable terrain of the mountains, this novel is a poignant, raw journey about finding yourself after having been lost for so long.

Amazing book I love it this book is about bullying, survival, and faith while 3 kids fight to survive getting lost in the Great Smoky Mountains. I don't really think there is nothing wrong with this book if you think about it, if you can imagine a whole lot of different ways of seeing/ imagining this story while reading it, it will change the way you see the way the story is written. It will make you notice and see things in a new perspective and that is why I love this story so so much.

I loved it and got really sad as it ended, I really wanted to read how she would end up telling everyone what really happened between her and Luke.
