This is a very well-written book. (How many YA books get favorable reviews from Nobel-prize winning author Isaac Bashevis Singer?)
A newcomer to one of Florida's posh schools is isolated, ignored and shut out. On a week-long field trip to the Everglades, she accepts the invitation of a local youth for an unauthorized jaunt on an airboat.
A minor mishap leaves the young pair stranded miles out in the 'Glades, and no one has any idea where they are.
They got themselves into this mess, and now--through alligators, rattlesnakes, water moccasins, mosquitoes, mud, mosquitoes and fear--they have to get themselves out again.
