Six kids, Nick, J.J., Will, Lyssa, Charla, and Ian, are thrown together against their will on a small boat that will make a one-month journey on the Pacific Ocean. They have all been sent for different reasons. Luke is taking his only choice besides being sent to a juvenile detention facility for a crime he didn't commit. Will and Lyssa are quarreling siblings sent by their parents, who hope the trip will teach them to get along better. J.J. was sent by a movie-star father after he pulled one two many pranks. Ian's parents hoped to cure him of his TV addiction. Charla was sent because she was having an arthletic "burnout." But these six totally different kids have to learn to work together to survive a vicious storm and a shipwreck that leave them stranded in the middle of the ocean with no food, no water, and almost no hope for survival.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Good submitted by zmclaugh on June 20, 2019, 9:46pm This is a fun, intense survival story with interesting characters.

Preteen Favorite submitted by evie2017 on August 12, 2019, 3:37pm I loved this book when I was about 10 or 11. Great characters, lots of action, and easy for a younger reader to follow and understand. I do not remember it being too scary for kids, and really enjoyed it.
