In Paul Greci's The Wild Lands, Travis and his sister are trapped in a daily race to survive - and there is no second place.
Living in Alaska for over twenty-five years, Paul Greci has seen bears fishing for salmon, a pair of bald eagles building a nest, and polar bears gnawing on a whale carcass. Paul's debut middle-grade adventure/survival novel, Surviving Bear Island, a Junior Library Guild Selection and a Scholastic Reading Club Pick, came out in March 2015 from Move Books. Besides teaching as a profession, Paul has also worked as a field biology technician in remote corners of Alaska, a backpacking trip leader for teens, a teacher, and a naturalist for several outdoor education programs. When he's not writing or teaching, Paul spends lots of time exploring the Alaskan wilderness on foot and by kayak.

"This rugged survival story places a group of teens in a dark,
burned-out post-apocalyptic nightmare. Your heart will pound for
them as they face terrible dangers and impossible odds. Gripping,
vivid, and haunting!" --Emmy Laybourne, international bestselling
author of the Monument 14 trilogy "A compelling story that wouldn't
let me stop reading. Greci has created both a frightening landscape
and characters you believe in and want to survive it."

"Heart-racing... A rugged wilderness lover's post-disaster
survivalist tale." --Kirkus Reviews "Heart-thumping suspense for
readers who liked Rick Yancey's The 5th Wave." --Booklist "Raw and
accessible. Offering hints of Hatchet with markedly more manmade
danger." --The Bulletin "This fast-paced book contains all the
hallmarks of a classic wilderness survival novel (deadly terrain,
vicious predators, literal cliff-hangers) and the best of the
postapocalyptic genre ... The author's decades of Alaskan
wilderness experience is evident throughout ... A great high-stakes
wilderness survival tale." --School Library Journal "A brutal
vision of things to come. Greci delivers an apocalyptic odyssey
that's honest, relentless, and backed by his firsthand knowledge of
the wilderness."
-- Lex Thomas, author of the Quarantine series "The themes of
teamwork, choice and free will are incredibly well done ... an
intense and thrilling ride." --TeenReads.com
