Description
One wrong turn. One powerful storm. Seven days to survive.
Mara Bell never imagined that a supervised hiking trip could turn into a fight to find her way home.
But when a sudden storm separates her from her group, Mara finds herself alone in an unfamiliar wilderness. With limited supplies, a damaged phone, and no clear path back, every decision matters.
As the hours become days, Mara must face cold nights, unpredictable weather, hunger, and the terrifying uncertainty of not knowing whether anyone is coming.
Her greatest challenge isn’t simply surviving the forest. It’s learning when to act, when to wait, and how to stay calm when fear threatens to take over.
Meanwhile, family members, volunteers, and rescue teams race against time, searching a vast landscape where even the smallest clue could make the difference.
A gripping and heartfelt survival adventure about courage, preparation, resilience, and the power of thinking clearly when everything goes wrong.
Perfect for readers ages 9–12 who enjoy realistic adventures, outdoor mysteries, and stories about ordinary kids facing extraordinary challenges.
