JOANNE (joann) - , reviewed on 4/1/2019 + 405 more book reviews

Anna, her mom, dad and brother Alex (Stick) are camping. Anna and her brother are in the tent to go to sleep. Anna hears her parents talking, but suddenly her mother screams, which is very unlike her mom. Next, dad comes and puts her and her brother in a large Coleman locker, but shuts it with a secure way of getting it open.
Anna hears noises that aren't quite right. She feels a big black dog sniffing at the opening of the cooler. When that sniffing stops, she gets her brother out of the cooler and finds her mother. Mom tells her to get her brother into the canoe and go for a ride and that she and dad will meet up with them.
What has actually happened is awful. And keep in mind that Anna is only 5 years old and Stick is only 2.
Anna gets them in the canoe and from there scary things happen.
This is written in the wording of a 5 year old taking on the wilderness, taking care of herself and her brother.
This was a very unique concept. You feel so helpless reading this little girl's thoughts, trying to remember that she is as young as she is.
