Hatchet meets Long Way Down in this heartfelt and gripping novel in verse about a young girl's struggle for survival after a climbing trip with her father goes terribly wrong.

One year after a random shooting changed their family forever, Nora and her father are exploring a slot canyon deep in the Arizona desert, hoping it will help them find peace. Nora longs for things to go back to normal, like they were when her mother was still alive, while her father keeps them isolated in fear of other people. But when they reach the bottom of the canyon, the unthinkable happens: A flash flood rips across their path, sweeping away Nora's father and all of their supplies.

Suddenly, Nora finds herself lost and alone in the desert, facing dehydration, venomous scorpions, deadly snakes, and, worst of all, the Beast who has terrorized her dreams for the past year. If Nora is going to save herself and her father, she must conquer her fears, defeat the Beast, and find the courage to live her new life.

A fateful trip including poisonous snakes, scorpions, and other torment!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 20 September 2020

Oh did I love this Dusti Bowling book and a novel in verse at that!!! Nora's wonderful family has been ripped apart by a random restaurant shooting. As a way to escape their grief and celebrate rock climbing they did as a family, Nora and her Dad explore a canyon but little do they know, they did not prepare for a flash flood to whisk them apart! As Nora tries to find her father she battles scorpions, snakes, poisonings, and even her psychological torment known as the Beast that plagued her after her mother's death. I could not put this book down, I loved the spare yet spine tingling suspense of the language as Nora desperately looks for her father. Nora's journey makes her stronger, makes her want to reconcile with her best friend, return to school and live life like before, will she be able to survive and achieve this. This is a middle school book but YA would love this book as well! A must read!

Lolaloo

Fantastic book - very well written, edge of seat adventure

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 22 May 2022

I absolutely loved this book. I actually read it initially after borrowing it from the library but loved it so much I purchased a copy for my classmate. It's a harrowing tale that is well told and the prose just makes it that much more interesting. I don't typically pick up poetry to read leisurely but this one didn't feel like the typical poem. I also loved how words are used to show motions of things happening.

Added bonus - this book is so good that it caught one of my most reluctant readers in class and he can't put it down.

An incredible book - highly recommend to all - even adults.

As a daughter raised by a single dad, this story had me from the beginning. I am way beyond the intended age group this is meant for but have enjoyed all of Dusti's books. I enjoyed how this was written and wish I could give it 6 stars.

Novel in Verse that pulls you in and doesn’t let go

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 29 December 2021

A wonderful story about a teen girl coping with trauma and loss. A lesson in managing love received from those that are struggling with trauma and loss themselves. Loved that this book was a quick read. Perfect for middle schoolers reluctant to pick up a book.
