But when a massive earthquake blocks their return path, there's only one way home: the long way around, through a wilderness filled with fierce animals, raging rivers, unstable weather, and high passes. The hardest challenges the cousins face, however, are the troubles they've brought with them: bold Vivian's fear of starting middle school and of changes she can't control, Owen's lingering emotional scars from a car accident, and Amy's desire to live in stories rather than in boring regular life. Drawing on courage and humor, the cousins weather storms, make the most of dwindling rations, and face their deepest fears in order to bring each other safely home. This gripping contemporary novel from celebrated author Anne Nesbet is bursting with excitement, rich natural settings, and characters who will have readers rooting for them all the way.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnne Nesbet \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of the historical middle-grade novels \u003ci\u003eCloud and Wallfish\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e The Orphan Band of Springdale\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Daring Darleen: Queen of the Screen\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eV Is for Victorine\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eas well as three fantasy novels for middle-graders.
