Luke Haggerty squeezed into the tiny bathroom and pulled the door shut behind him.

From the rear cover

6 Kids.

1 Shipwreck.

1 Desert Island.

Luke, J.J., Will, Lyssa, Charla, and Ian.

They didn't want to be on the boat in the first place. They didn't want to be stuck at sea with a bunch of strangers. But when you're in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, there's no easy way out. And when a terrifying storm hits, there's no way to fully prepare. It's all about survival.
