Recenzii
...refreshing, especially in light of national conversations around racial equity in outdoor spaces ... a thrilling survival story
Rhodes delivers another gripping story about loss, resilience, and healing ... perfect for reluctant readers ... this is a tale of survival and hope that doesn't disappoint
Rhodes has a knack for disaster stories with real-life implications, and Addy is an original character whose focus on control is plausible and plausibly advantageous in this very different milieu ... Addy's (and the author's) clear love of the natural world shines throughout, balancing the pounding adventure with respect and appreciation
Parker Rhodes believably explores one Black city girl's discovery of the wilderness around her
Lyrical in tone, the first-person narration brings home Addy's love of nature as well as her urgency to protect it ... Rhodes's contribution brings desperately needed diversity to the wilderness/adventure genre
