Against the Pack (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798353430537)

A great choice for fans of Hatchet, this vivid wilderness survival adventure is about a teenager who must find her way home to save herself and her mom.

While walking on a rural road, Melender and her mom are attacked by a pack of dogs and fall down a near-vertical hillside into a ravine. Now they're trapped on a narrow ledge and wounded. No one knows where they are. No one even knows they're missing.

They have no food, water, shelter, or warm clothes. No phone to call for help. No medical supplies. Nothing.

The only positive is that Melender can walk. She doesn't want to leave her critically-wounded mom behind, but it could be days before anyone starts looking for them.

They don't have that much time.

In this compelling story about complicated mother-daughter relationships, Melender's riveting ordeal forces her to face real dangers as well as deep emotional truths.
