Every single panel of this graphic novel held my attention. I'd hand this to any reader looking for a survival story - an outdoor, coming of age, trusting your instincts - sort of story. It is shelved in the Young Adult/Teens section at our library but I would feel comfortable handing it to 4th graders and up. There may be an instance or two of coarse language and some of the illustrations of injuries are tense.
