I'm now prepared to get stranded in the deep woods after a plane crash--and the preparation came from a comic book!
I love this series a lot. This may be the only thing from Orca I've ever had high praise for, but I think this series is really strong.

Three teenagers on a camping trip one small plane ride a crash in the middle of nowhere = a survival adventure! This gripping graphic novel puts us in the middle of the action as we hope the characters make it out alive! We also learn some wilderness survival skills along the way!
