After a sea kayaking trip with his father takes a dangerous turn, Tom Parker is stranded on the remote, outer coast of unpopulated Bear Island in the waters of Prince William Sound, Alaska with only a survival kit in his pocket. Desperate to find his father, Tom doesn’t know how long he can survive and must put his survival skills to the test as he fights to reach safety.
Kirkus Reveiws called Surviving Bear Island "a terrific thrill on the page."
From the Alaska Dispatch
"Greci has taken a popular if somewhat shopworn theme of juvenile
literature -- being marooned -- and given it new vitality. You needn’t
be a kid to stay up late reading this one."--David James.
From the Juneau Empire:
“Surviving Bear Island is an exciting book outdoors-minded boys and
girls both will enjoy. It’s fast paced enough to keep reluctant
readers’ attention, but it also avoids oversimplification while
communicating real-life dilemmas in understandable ways."--Mary Catharine Martin
From the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner:
"Surviving Bear Island is a heart-pounding adventure that both kids and
adults will enjoy… It follows its hero through a brilliant
coming-of-age the likes of which are unlikely to be found anywhere
outside Alaska."--Addley Fannin
Surviving Bear Island is a 2015 Junior Library Guild Selection in the High Interest Middle Category for grades 5 to 8.
