PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Scout and her older brother—a self-proclaimed "nearly professional local guide"—are heading to the final campsite of their four-day backpacking trip when Big Brother announces they're lost. After reading the map upside down, leading them down an unmarked trail, losing his GPS and cell phone, and running off, literally pursued by a bear, Big Brother leaves Scout alone in the woods. With only half the duo's supplies and a compass for guidance, coolheaded and methodical Scout must focus on finding water, shelter, and food, all while signaling for help. Scout's situation isn't all doom-and-gloom, however: an irreverent talking skunk offers comic relief, and informative, brightly colored flowcharts break down each of her priorities and how best to approach them, modeling critical problem solving and survival skills. Structuring Scout's adventure as an in-depth wilderness guide, Eaton (the Truth About Your Favorite Animals series) uses crisp-lined, digitally colored pen and ink cartooning to present easily digestible information about venturing into the great outdoors, including how to build a sturdy lean-to shelter, catch and gut a fish, and navigate by compass and topographic map. It's a thoroughly enjoyable wilderness-themed geek-out, even for readers who never explore beyond their backyard. Scout and Big Brother read as white. Ages 8–12.
