Wendy Orr’s RAVEN’S MOUNTAIN � Love That Book – Books for the Young
This reminded me so much of Hatchet by Gary Paulsen, that exciting survival story that so many have loved. A family has a weekend together hiking and camping in the mountains. It is supposed to be a time of bonding and healing but a freak accident has the young girl Raven trying to get help. She can speak to her sister through a crack in the rocks but has to leave her there. She has no compass, no food or water and there are bears around.
Very very exciting. Chris

Good job Wendy Orr!I'm reading NIMS ISLAND with my class and it is great.It has really good details and it's a great mystery.
(I somehow hit reject instead of publish, so I've just had to copy it in from the email. Very sorry, Vezon - it really was an accident! I'm very glad you're enjoying Nim.
