The camp's the place where her parents met, and where Addy plans to hone her skills and honor their legacy. But now there's no power and it's also like a light has been switched off in her mom, who's been triggered by the raging river and memories of Addy's dad dying in a similar storm. The two of them are feeling particularly stranded as they've never bothered to befriend any neighbors. But now Addy keeps running into her classmate Caleb on the hill above her house where they both go to get cell service. Caleb's frantic about a missing neighbor, and Addy's amazed to see how he's able to connect with folks to get help. Then Caleb offers to help her get to camp--but can she trust him? She always thought of him as an enemy--but maybe she was partially to blame for his frostiness? The storm has brought so many questions swirling to the surface and has made Addy feel it's time to take some leaps of faith. When she agrees to travel with Caleb by canoe, this sets off a remarkable string of events and the biggest test of her survival skills. More importantly, it sets Addy on a road to understanding that she's not in this adventure of life alone--and that a good thing.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnn Braden is also the author of \u003ci\u003eOpinions and Opossums\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFlight of the Puffin\u003c\/i\u003e.
