A different kind of survival story

"Trapped!" is about a 17-year-old boy who is trapped in his station wagon after he nearly hits a deer while driving on a remote gravel road. The car rolls down a cliff and his foot is caught in the twisted frame of the dashboard. No one knows he was planning to visit his uncle, and if he doesn't get out soon, he will die. It is a survival story of a different kind. Instead of being able to roam freely, he can barely move, yet he manages to get water from a nearby stream, pick berries and signal for help. It is a good book for the whole family. If you liked "Hatchet," you will like "Trapped!"
