Wilderness

The New York Times - Jerry Griswold: Wilderness is that rare young adult novel that can speak to every member of the family: hardpressed moms, perceptive fathers, belligerent girls and risk-taking boys. Still, it seems primarily a boy's book, reminding me how I loved stories about survival that began with a small plane crashing in the middle of nowhere, and how I waited eagerly for the arrival of the magazine Boys' Life. Like the best-selling Dangerous Book for Boys, Wilderness could rekindle interest in this true-grit legacy.
