Could you imagine being stuck in the Florida everglades. For 5 days. In the book Lost in The River of grass by Ginny Rorby the main character Sarah and a boy she met while on this field trip get lost in the Florida everglades. The antagonist is the treacherous waters and the blazing hot sun. The protagonist Sarah and Andy. A problem Sarah and Andy face is not having enough to eat or drink. Another problem they experience is having to trudge through knee deep water which what they're stepping in is mud and limestone which has holes in it. I would say the turning point is when they start to hear planes and helicopters flying around them. I would recommend this book to 6th grade and up this is a YAC book so it has some advanced stuff. But if you can handle that kind of stuff this is a great book about survival and perseverance. Will they make it out or will they die unknown.
