Lyrical writing combines with an unpredictable, unusual plot. As things spiral out of control, Nate finds himself dealing with questions even bigger than who gets to leave the camp alive. Wynne-Jones (The Book of Changes, 1995, etc.) skillfully presents a complex character who, in order to survive, uses all his resources: knowledge of the woods an instinctive understanding of the manipulations of adults strategy brutality, the legacy of his father and compassion. Snowed in by a blizzard and with no cell signal, Nate is confronted with troubling memories of Dodge and a stunning family secret, and realizes that his survival now depends on his wits as much as his wilderness skills. What he doesn’t expect to find is the door to the cabin flung open and the camp occupied by strangers: three men he’s horrified to realize have escaped from a maximum-security prison.
