If We Survive

By: Andrew Klavan

Narrated by: Jeremy Johnson

They came on a mission of mercy, but now they’re in a fight for their lives.

High schooler Will Peterson and three friends journeyed to Central America to help rebuild a school. In a poor, secluded mountain village, they won the hearts of the local people with their energy and kindness.

But in one sudden moment, everything went horribly wrong. A revolution swept the country. Now, guns and terror are everywhere—and Americans are being targeted as the first to die.

Will and his friends have got to get out fast. But streets full of killers . . .hills patrolled by armies . . . and a jungle rife with danger stand between them and the border. Their one hope of escape lies with a veteran warrior who has lost his faith and may betray them at any moment. Their one dream is to reach freedom and safety and home.

If they can just survive.

Exciting

Such an engaging story with deep truths talked about in the dialogue. Narrator is great.

Exciting Read!

I absolutely enjoyed this book. I was interested in the story from the very first chapter. I thought the narrator was excellent. IMO this is one of the best Klavan novels I have read.

Although this was a YA genre, I think any age will enjoy it. It’s an exciting story and relatable characters.

Exciting story with great message

Felt like I was watching a movie. Narrator was perfect for this story. Interesting characters either whom I could empathize. Enjoyed the interview with the author at the end, too.

Engaging

I love coming of age stories/ personal growth arcs-well done! Some of the situations were a bit incredible but entertaining.

Klavan’s Best!

All of Andrew Klavan’s books are excellent but this one—for me—rang most true, most tonally perfect! Full of nuance and deeper meaning and the narrator was perfect!

Big adventure

Great story and characters with a big life lesson! “All we can do is face [the situation] with courage and faith”. The story features young people in a tough situation reaching for the best in themselves. This is what we should challenge young people -and people of all ages will enjoy the book- to read. Very positive, thoughtful, and enjoyable! Very good narration.
