The Raft

The Raft by S. A. Bodeen is an edge of the seat thriller that follows Robbie as she is forced to survive after her plane crashes.  We follow her from the mainland Hawaii where she leaves her sister to the plane the raft and beyond as she struggles to live without water or food or any way to get help.

I loved this book and could not put it down.  I started it in the morning and read till I finished it because I couldn't stand not knowing what was going to happen next.  Robbie is strong but still very realistic both breaking down and pushing through when she really needed to.

Appropriateness:  There is no adult content in this book.  It is an edge of your seat thriller that is scary without being violent.  I would recommend this book to readers 12+ and feel that boys would like this book as well as girls (if they can get over the book being about a girl).
