"On road trips that quickly turn catastrophic, teens must rely on grit and determination to survive life-threatening situations. In Spinning Out, two couples on their way to a ski resort get lost in a treacherous snowstorm. Tempers flare after Jesse and Kevin lose their way and must hike through the woods in Stranded. A trio of friends head to a music festival in Heat Wave, only to get lost in the desert with a flat tire. In Off Course, twins Nora and Livi are on their way to a college interview when they veer off the road to find a hidden movie set. Relatable relationship drama between siblings, friends, and significant others is woven into the high-stakes action in these titles written at a fourth grade reading level. VERDICT The entertaining plots pack a punch and are an excellent choice for striving readers in middle and high school, particularly adrenaline seekers." --School Library Journal.
