Title: The Wild
Author: Owen Laukkanen
Number of pages: 368
Genre: Teen and young adult suspense/mystery/thriller
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Out of the Wild is a wilderness boot camp that tries to help troubled teens learn how to better themselves. Dawn wasn't exactly a terrible person; she just made some dumb decisions and spent her time with all the wrong people and the wrong guy. When her mother and stepfather would come by to where she was staying at with a man twice her age, she expected the same old, them trying to convince her to come back home and go back to school and get a job and live a normal teenage life, she didn't expect for them to take her off to the airport off to boot camp. Once she got there, and joins her group in the bear cubs, she knew she wasn't going to like it, but what she didn't know was the danger that lies ahead. What was meant to be a regular hike like every other day turned to survive of the fittest really quick when one of her counselors gets badly hurt and they think she might be dead. 😨 Leaving behind their other counselor with intention on going back to the camp for help, one of them has other plans and Dawn has to survive everything that comes after in order to hopefully save their injured counselor, and themselves. I already knew right off the bat that this book wasn't what I was looking for when I started my October reading, but it actually wasn't a bad read whatsoever! I almost thought it would drag on, but it didn't take too long to get to the point. Just wish it had just a bit more action feel like there's more drama then action. I was on the edge of my seat and kept wondering what would happen next. I did figure out the mystery halfway through once again but to me it almost seemed obvious this time around. 😅
Pros: Well written
Cons: Needs a tad bit more action less drama
Recommended to: Those who like plots revolving around life lessons
