Her parents went in search of gold up north in a post war kind of world leaving her behind to live with her maternal grandmother she calls Nana and wishes to unite and live with her parents always fighting with Nana. Things change when she is swept by a storm at the age of seven and finds herself deep inside a jungle. All alone and starving wandering around she reaches the hut of a man she calls trapper who lets her eat his meals. He teaches her how to hunt and survive on her own and how to use knife and gun. She grows up to the age of seventeen when she discovers the true identity of Trapper and gets shattered. Then ensues an adventure as she decides to find her parents and walks all the way up north hiding her tracks.
Beautifully written in a narrative way this is Beth Lewis debut novel. It is a hard to put down book and keeps one hooked to it till the end.
In a scale of 20 we give it a 19.25. Excellent work.
