About this ebook
Flynn hates the outdoors. Always has. He barely pays attention in his Outdoor Ed class. He has no interest in doing a book report on <i>Lost in the Barrens</i>. He doesn’t understand why anybody would want to go hiking or camping. But when he gets lost in the wilderness behind his parents’ friends’ house, it’s surprising what he remembers—insulate your clothes with leaves, eat snow to stay hydrated, build a shelter, eat lichen—and how hopelessly inept he is at survival techniques.<br>

About the author
Alison Hughes has lived, worked and studied in Canada, England and Australia. She started writing when it became clear that it was much more fun and flexible than being a lawyer, and didn't require her to wear nylons. She won the Writers' Union of Canada's Writing for Children Competition, and her short stories have been short- and longlisted for the CBC Literary Awards. She lives in Edmonton, Alberta, with her husband, three children, three dogs and two cats.
