"Five accounts of teens in emergency situations, in some cases saving the lives of others.... The stories engage readers instantly and are accompanied by small, black-and-white snapshots. All of the teens are introduced in a non-emergency context that defines their unique traits and personality, shedding light on their ability to handle these situations. Reluctant readers who prefer nonfiction will find much to enjoy here, and the survival quizzes are great springboards for discussion in health classes."
