A catastrophic earthquake strands four teens in the Alaskan wilderness-and leaves them without a civilization to return to.
Paul Greci has lived and worked in Alaska for over twenty-five years as a field biology technician in remote wilderness areas, a teacher and backpacking trip leader for teens, and a naturalist for several outdoor education programs. His middle-grade adventure novel, Surviving Bear Island, was a Junior Library Guild Selection and a Scholastic Reading Club Pick.
"A fast-moving plot and plenty of cliffhangers. It's a formula that
will keep [readers] turning pages." - Anchorage Daily News Praise
for The Wild Lands:
"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."
--Eric Walters, author of the bestselling Rule of Three series
"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
