About the Book
"The true story of a girl who fell out of a plane over the Amazon and walked out of the jungle eleven days later"-- Provided by publisher.Book Synopsis
A captivating and incredible true story about a girl who fell out of a plane over the Amazon--and walked out of the jungle eleven days later, perfect for fans of Hatchet and graduates of the I Survived series. On Christmas Eve 1971, seventeen-year-old Juliane Koepcke and her mother boarded a plane in Lima, Peru, bound for their home at the Panguana Research station deep in the Amazon. Twenty minutes from landing, the plane was struck by lightning, and Juliane hurtled two miles down through the rainforest canopy, crashing on the jungle floor. She woke up the next day with a broken collarbone, missing her glasses and one shoe, but incredibly, miraculously, alive. Pulling on every bit of knowledge her rainforest-studying parents imparted to her, she journeyed through the danger-filled jungle for eleven days. She was the sole survivor. Complete with sidebars that explore and explain the science that allowed Juliane to survive her fall, the diversity of life in the Amazon jungle, the natural history of Peru and much more, Follow the Water is a powerful and unforgettable true story of survival against all odds.About the Author
