Two
friends face danger in the cold Colorado mountains.
M.J.
Stewart has written an entertaining adventure story featuring two young teens
who are easy to like and easy to relate to. Derek is struggling with very
serious issues and his best friend Janae is right there with him the whole way.
Even with terrible blizzards, abandonment, dangerous tough guys after Derek,
and an almost-step-dad that he doesn't like or trust, Derek, along with Janae,
takes on the tough job of doing what needs to be done.
Excerpt
Derek whispered, “And how are we gonna leave? Maybe Mom and
Thomas will know what to do. Let’s be real quiet until they get here.”
“Hope they get here quick.” Janae said in a shaky voice.
“Does he have a gun?”
“Don’t see one.” Derek hugged Janae; her body trembled with
emotion. “Bummer how this trip is going downhill.”
“Seriously downhill,” Janae said. “Is he dead?”
“Duh…dead people don’t snore. But maybe we should see if
he’s okay.”
“You go,” Janae said.
Derek flinched as the man inhaled. “Wait, his chest moved.”
“Are you sure?” Janae asked, but kept her distance.
“Is blood running down his forehead?” Derek asked.
“I see red.”
“Let’s get a better look. Maybe he’s just sleeping.” Derek
took one step in the man’s direction and stopped.
“Why are you stopping? You’re supposed to be the strong,
brave one.” Janae jumped behind Derek and tried to shove him closer to the man.
But Derek stood firm. “You’re scared as I am,” Janae said.
“Not either,” Derek said and turned his face to her. “See my
face, I’m not scared.”
“Why are you chewing your lip?”
