An enjoyable first young adult chapter book by author Alison Lohans, with alternating viewpoints (stated by the name at each chapter). Set in British Columbia, Canada, five teens were in a car crash and dealt with cold weather, injuries (not for the squeamish), survival, and interpersonal relations. Karen, whose experiences with night blindness gave an excellent idea of what it's like, showed much character development from a shy, embarrassed girl to confidence in her own abilities.
