A breathless, heart-pounding alpine tale about the bonds of family and the call of adventure.
Alisha Sevigny, author of the Secrets of the Sands series
Mountain Runaways is a non-stop thrill ride of a book, taking readers deep into the Albertan wilderness even as it explores some weighty family issues. In the vein of classics like My Side of the Mountain, Pam Withers combines a story of adolescent independence with actual survival techniques that are sure to keep young readers engaged (and with no small amount of warning that it might not be the best idea to go traipsing off into the woods). Readers will connect with the trio of siblings and find themselves looking at the great outdoors with a new appreciation ... and maybe some aspirations toward a far safer camping trip of their own.
Wesley King, New York Times bestselling author of OCDaniel
