Out of Range

De: Heidi Lang

Narrado por: M.L. Sanchez

Hatchet meets Raina Telgemeier's Sisters in this "realistic, riveting" (Kirkus Reviews) middle grade tale of three warring sisters who find themselves lost in the wilderness and must learn to trust each other if they want to survive.

Sisters Abby, Emma, and Ollie have gone from being best friends forever to mortal enemies.

Thanks to their months-long feud, they are sent to Camp Unplugged, a girls' camp deep in the heart of the Idaho mountains where they will go "back to nature"—which means no cell phones, no internet, and no communicating with the outside world. For two whole weeks. During that time, they had better learn to get along again, their parents tell them. Or else.

The sisters don't see any way they can ever forgive each other for what they've done, no matter how many hikes and campfire songs they're forced to participate in. But then disaster strikes, and they find themselves lost and alone in the wilderness. They will have to outrun a raging wildfire, make it through a turbulent river, escape bears and mountain lions and ticks. They don't have training, or food, or enough supplies. All they have is each other.

And maybe, just maybe, it will be enough to survive.

Impressive story of sisterhood and survival

An engrossing tale of three sisters who find themselves lost and have to find not only their way home, but also find their lost connection to each other. The narrator did a great job of alternating between the three sisters voices. Would definitely recommend to anyone who likes books like Alone in the Woods or Hatchet.
