Publisher's Synopsis
You can imagine being stranded on an island alone. But what if that happened...with your entire fifth grade class? Mary Kodiak walks into fifth grade thinking that it's just going to be like any other year: nerd this, nerd that, teacher's pet everything. But then her teacher calls her to the back table and gives her a big responsibility that turns her year upside down and inside out. One choice that Mary makes around the responsibility puts the lives of her classmates in jeopardy! Mary gets to choose where her class is going for the autumn field trip at Pikes Peak Elementary School. After much debate, she makes a choice that's decent, but while the kids are traveling to their destination, disaster strikes. That throws a monkey wrench into, ultimately, the entire school year! Join Mary and her friends in an exciting adventure in which they uncover and deal with the mysteries of life, calculate the best survival routes, and learn that their classmates are the greatest tool they'll ever have.
