Publisher Description
Flynn hates the outdoors. Always has. He barely pays attention in his Outdoor Ed class. He has no interest in doing a book report on Lost in the Barrens. He doesn’t understand why anybody would want to go hiking or camping. But when he gets lost in the wilderness behind his parents’ friends’ house, it’s surprising what he remembers—insulate your clothes with leaves, eat snow to stay hydrated, build a shelter, eat lichen—and how hopelessly inept he is at survival techniques.

Lost in the backyard
I couldn't put this book down. A great read, easy and yet complex all at the same time. So many 'small bits' that I wish I could teach young students - without having to have them go through a 'real' experience like this, that might not turn out so well in the end!
This is the kind of book I wish more parents would read out loud to their tween - we shouldn't be worried about 'forcing' kids to turn off their cell phones and read to or with them!
