"Addy prefers to rely only on herself, but when a superstorm hits her remote mountain town, she will need to muster the courage to ask for help"-- - Penguin Putnam
Sometimes even a girl who likes to rely only on herself needs to be brave enough to ask for help.
When a super-storm hits Addy's remote mountain town, knocking out the bridge and cutting her home off from the main road, she worries that she wonât be able to get to the survival camp sheâs been looking forward to attending. The campâs the place where her parents met, and where Addy plans to hone her skills and honor their legacy. But now thereâs no power and itâs also like a light has been switched off in her mom, whoâs been triggered by the raging river and memories of Addyâs dad dying in a similar storm. The two of them are feeling particularly stranded as theyâve 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. Calebâs frantic about a missing neighbor, and Addyâs amazed to see how heâs 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 itâs 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.
