Into the Rapids

When a super-storm hits Addy's remote mountain town, knocking out the bridge and cutting her home off from the main road, she worries that she won’t be able to get to the survival camp she’s been looking forward to attending.The camp’s the place where her parents met, and where Addy plans to hone her skills and honour their legacy.But now there’s no power and it’s also like a light has been switched off in her mum, who’s been triggered by the raging river and memories of Addy’s dad dying in a similar storm.The two of them are feeling particularly stranded as they’ve never bothered to befriend any neighbours.But now Addy keeps running into her classmate Caleb on the hill above her house where they both go to get cell service.Caleb’s frantic about a missing neighbour, and Addy’s amazed to see how he’s able to connect with folks to get help.Then Caleb offers to help her get to camp - but can she trust him?She always thought of him as an enemy - but maybe she was partially to blame for his frostiness?The storm has brought so many questions swirling to the surface and has made Addy feel it’s time to take some leaps of faith.When she agrees to travel with Caleb by canoe, this sets off a remarkable string of events and the biggest test of her survival skills.More importantly, it sets Addy on a road to understanding that she's not in this adventure of life alone - and that a good thing.
