Written by Marisa de los Santos and David Teague
I enjoyed this book and think students will as well. It does a great job with the theme of finding out where you belong. The main characters have unique capabilities that make them different from others around them. Their parents send them to a wilderness survival camp hoping it will help them change. I think many students will relate and connect to the characters in the books. One thing that can be confusing for students is that the story is told in alternating voices which are similar and can be mixed up.
