Wildfire Escape #1 - (The Survival Code) by James Preller (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

In this first book of a fast-paced, outdoor adventure chapter-book series, four friends must make it out of the Idaho wilderness during fire season. Perfect for fans of Alan Gratz's Two Degrees and the I Survived series.

Arlo, Luma, Raja, and Naomi have been training for survival their whole lives. But nothing could have prepared them for this.

On what was supposed to be a three-day backcountry trip in the Idaho wilderness, a wildfire ignites and cuts off their only way home. With the group split in two and the fire moving fast, these four friends must draw on every survival skill they have--and a few they haven't learned yet--to make it out alive.
