True Survival

This is a inspiring story of a young girl's struggle to survive. Despite witnessing horrific events, she manages to save her own life. She deserves respect and admiration for her inner strength.

Ok

First no matter how good or bad the story was the narration was so fast that it was annoying to keep up. The story was sad and just a horrible thing to have survived but I wish she would have extended the story to include her rescue and her joining her loved ones again.

Too short

Should be a longer version. Ie. How they rescued the grandparents. Did they find the plane. Auto reunited w family. What actually caused crash. And though noone wants a lot of background info. It would be nice to get to know that characters a little more..
Just way too short... Also how she handles adjusting back ie.. School, aniexty

interesting concept, story a bit too concise

this story was so brief that I didn't really get to know the girl. What was her background, why was she in a plane with her grandparents, did anyone go looking for her after the plane went down? For me, the story could have been padded out more.

The narrator was very mediocre, especially the shouting in the beginning was very hard to put up with. Not an aloud-reader
