A review by deanie
Trial by Fire by Christopher Tebbetts, Jeff Probst
4.0
In the second Stranded book, things get worse for the Benson-Diaz kids as the wreck of their boat, the not-so-lucky Lucky Star finally sinks, leaving them without shelter and supplies on the deserted "Nowhere Island."
Only a book aimed at pre-teens would put a nine-year-old (and siblings) in such danger. The kids really get put through the ringer in this one. Unlike in other deserted island survival books, they can barely start a fire, can't collect shellfish or catch a fish, and building a shelter is hard. It's a surprisingly realistic book, especially given its target audience.
