The Lost Bend is a gripping survival adventure novel packed with danger, suspense, wilderness survival, and heart-pounding action for readers who love fast-paced outdoor adventure stories.
Thirteen-year-old Tyler Brooks thought a family rafting trip through a remote desert canyon would be exciting, maybe even fun. But when the river turns violent and Tyler is swept away from his family, excitement becomes a fight to stay alive.
Alone in a scorching canyon with no food, no phone, no rescue in sight, and only a pocket knife to help him, Tyler must battle brutal desert heat, dehydration, hunger, injury, snakes, scorpions, coyotes, dangerous terrain, rising water, and the terrifying realization that search teams may be looking in the wrong place.
Every choice matters. Every mistake could be deadly. Every sound in the canyon might be hope, or just another trick of the wilderness.
With suspense on every page, The Lost Bend is a thrilling wilderness survival story about courage, fear, family, resilience, and one boy's desperate fight to make it through the desert canyon alive.
Perfect for fans of middle grade survival books, teen survival adventure, wilderness survival fiction, outdoor adventure novels, desert survival stories, river rafting adventure, action-packed survival stories, books for boys and girls ages 10-18, young teen adventure fiction, and suspenseful survival novels for young readers.
