About this listen

Hatchet meets Survivor in this high-action, humor-filled middle grade adventure about two kids stranded in the wilderness, whose annoyance with each other rivals the roaring rapids and ferocious predators they must face.

12-year-old Sadie Hahn didn’t plan to eat grubs on camera to win a contest. And she definitely didn’t plan to win first prize—a guest appearance on a Youtube show hosted by America’s favorite 13-year-old survivalist Radley Shaw. But she’ll do anything to cheer up her little brother Silas, who’s too young to qualify.

Rad has millions of followers and exactly zero real-life friends, so the contest is a great chance for him to hang out with kids his own age. But it’s hate-at-first-sight when Silas throws a wrench in his plan and Sadie decides Rad is just a clueless poser who doesn’t know the first thing about survival.

Disaster strikes when their scripted rafting trip turns into a real fight for survival. Lost in the mountains, Rad and Sadie must find shelter, build a fire, forage for food and try not to become food for a hungry predator. But can they stop bickering long enough to hack it in the wilderness? And will that be enough to keep them alive?

Critic reviews

A breathtaking adventure with irresistible characters, this riveting survival story explores family, friendship, and the courage to love in the aftermath of loss. Readers won’t be able to put this one down.” —Megan E. Freeman, New York Times bestselling author of Alone and Away

"Filled with heart-pounding adventure and heart-warming friendship, I couldn’t put it down." —Stacy McAnulty, author of The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl

★ "Heady topics such as injury, grief, and death are handled with grit and grace across a rip-roaring plot, resulting in a gripping adventure." —Publishers Weekly, starred review

“A strong balance of pulse-pounding perils and emotional depth . . . The dual narration helps readers empathize with both leads and ramps up the tension during three days of life-or-death wilderness survival." —Kirkus Reviews

"The author devotes enough attention to showing how Rad and Sadie help each other through personal fears and griefs as their friendship develops that her tale is as much driven by character as action." —Booklist
