Thirteen-year-old Justin Cody is failing two classes and is addicted to texting and playing video games. Forced to take a wilderness canoe trip in Canada with his Grandpa Henry, Justin is thrust into a race for survival when the two discover a top-secret drone developed by the U.S. military. Grandpa Henry is kidnapped and Justin—who knows nothing about canoeing and camping—must canoe alone to a distant lake that promises rescue.
 
RACE TO SURVIVAL is a high adventure tale and a wilderness skills book in one!

Most of the events are based upon real-life experiences.  42,000 words, color. Recommended for ages 12 and up. Adults love it too!
