An action-packed, contemporary novel about surviving in the wilderness.
Thirteen-year-old Karma is desperate to become a certified falconer. At
her dad's bird education center, she helps give demonstrations to guests
and can fly the birds. But when her favorite rescued falcon, Stark,
hurts Karma, her parents insist that they return the bird to its
previous owner--in Canada. On the way to bring Stark back, a car
accident in the middle of nowhere leaves Karma's dad trapped, and it's
up to Karma to find a way to rescue him and her younger brother. When
Karma loses her way trying to get help, she crosses paths with Cooper, a
troubled teenaged boy. Lost for three days, the two figure out how to
survive, and Karma teaches Stark to hunt like an actual bird of prey.
Karma may be closer than she thinks to becoming a real falconer and
having a real friend.
