Stranded - Paperback

by Ben Mikaelsen (Author)

From award-winning author Ben Mikaelsen comes a nail-biting, heart-stopping survival story about a young girl who finds herself stranded in the middle of the ocean with no rescue in sight, perfect for fans of Hatchet and the I Survived series.

Koby's whole life changed after the accident four years ago. Between the smothering concern of her separated parents and the awkward glances from the kids at school, Koby only feels at home when she is on the ocean in her dinghy.

That all changes when she rescues two dying pilot whales. Day after day, she visits the whales as they begin their long road to recovery. She finds a new friend in Dr. Tracy Michaels, a veterinarian, and gains the admiration of her classmates. But most importantly, Koby starts to recognize her own strength and courage.
