"Readers will be entranced by this exceptional offering."
--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "By turns a mystery, a
thriller, and an adventure, this richly woven story will provide
much for readers to tease apart long after it's finished."
--Booklist (starred review) "Thought-provoking and intense."
--Kirkus Reviews "A survival story in its truest sense." --BCCB The
threat of two escaped convicts and a missing friend lead Lizzie on
a harrowing journey through the wilds of the Adirondacks in this
captivating mystery from National Book Award finalist Beth Kephart.
Thirteen-year-old Lizzie's favorite place in the world is her
uncle's cabin. Uncle Davy's renovated schoolhouse cabin, filled
with antiques and on the edge of the Adirondacks, disconnected from
the rest of the world, is like something out of a fairy tale. And
an escape from reality is exactly what Lizzie needs. Life hasn't
been easy for Lizzie lately. Her father abandoned their family,
leaving Lizzie with her oftentimes irresponsible mother. Now, her
mom has cancer and being unable to care for Lizzie during her
chemotherapy, asks Lizzie where she'd like to spend the summer. The
answer is simple: Uncle Davy's cabin. Lizzie loves her uncle's home
for many reasons, but the main one is Matias, Uncle Davy's neighbor
and Lizzie's best friend. Matias has proportionate dwarfism, but
that doesn't stop him and Lizzie from wandering in the woods. Every
day they go to their special spot where Matias paints with
watercolors and Lizzie writes. Until one day when Matias never
arrives. When news breaks about two escaped convicts from the
nearby prison, Lizzie fears the worst. And when Uncle Davy goes
missing, too, Lizzie knows she's the only one who knows this area
of woods well enough to save them. Armed with her trusted Keppy
survival book, Lizzie sets out into the wilds of the Adirondacks,
proving just how far she'll go to save the people she loves.
