In this edge-of-your-seat survival story, four classmates are stranded in a desert wilderness after a flash flood separates them from the rest of their grade. Can they make it to safety? Lavender's class is on a field trip in the desert of Chiricahua National Monument, hiking down a ravine, when a flash flood strikes! As the water hurtles down the ravine, everyone sprints for safety. Lavender runs in the opposite direction as the rest of her class and scrambles up a tree while the torrential river rages by. When the waters finally recede, Lavender finds herself stranded in the brutal heat of the desert with only her ex-best friend Marisol, mean-girl Rachelle, and a boy named John. They are shaken, disoriented, and have just one pack of supplies and the most basic wilderness knowledge. Can they find their way back to safety? They will have to learn to work together in spite of their differences -- if they want to survive.

I love the accuracy with which the author portrays the four sixth graders who get lost in the desert following a flash flood. They aren‘t perfect. They bicker. They hold grudges and they learn to forgive. The plot never bogged down and the atmosphere was intense.

Texreader Excellent review. I appreciate when an author gets the accurate qualities for the ages of their characters. It‘s impressive. 1y
Nebklvr @Texreader Yes. Unusual but impressive. Especially as I read two books in a row where the kids were well written. These will be great recommendations. 1y
