Open to students in grades 7-12.

Registration is requested – sign up here.

From the author:

“I Am Still Alive started as a problem to solve: how would a teenage girl survive in the wilderness alone? From there it grew into a story about determination, loss, love, and revenge.

And a really cool dog.”
