The storyline was interesting and overall I felt like it was written well, however, the main thread of the story is about a 9 year old surviving in the woods alone and facing all sorts of issues for a fairly long period of time. It just didn't feel realistic or believable. Celia's character making an abrupt shift seemed odd to me as well. If it was more believable, I think I would've liked it better. 

I did like that there was an autistic character with Burnaby and thought he was portrayed well for someone with probably mid level features.
