Didn’t really enjoy this one because I think the kids were unnecessarily put into a dangerous situation. Maybe I would’ve liked it better if the less up to the problem they were in was more of an accident. The adventure aspect of the plot and the setting were both done well.

A very, very fun story with some pretty high stakes, especially for a middle grade book!

A Golden Doodle is lying on floor with a hard cover book on her right paw. The book is 15 Secrets to survival by Natalie D Richards.

15 SECRETS TO SURVIVAL by Natalie D. Richards is an engaging blend of tween angst, survival challenges, and humor. The story follows Baxter, Abigail, Turner, and Emerson, forced into a wilderness extra credit project. What begins as a team-building weekend takes a thrilling turn when their instructor disappears, leaving them with a survival guide and daunting challenges. The narrative creatively unfolds through questionnaires, injecting a fun dynamic. While aspects of parental decisions may raise eyebrows, the target audience can easily immerse themselves in the exciting plot. Richards successfully weaves a tale of teamwork, mystery, and unexpected surprises in the woods, keeping readers hooked with funny moments and suspense. The book's unique approach and enjoyable storyline make it a delightful read for young audiences.
