Kids/Teens Book Club discussion

My YA dystopian book is a non-stop action, wilderness escape adventure perfect for teens, especially middle to high school aged readers. I invite (or rather beg nicely) for you to check it out. Thanks!


Here's a quick summary:
Eight teenagers escape imprisonment at a work camp to brave the wilderness. Tested to their limits, they struggle to survive their terrifying dash for freedom.

After the total collapse of the world economy, the United States could not stand together. So they failed separately. In the small region-state of Winnkota, poverty and greed are turning the idyllic Northwoods of Minnesota into a barren wasteland of clear-cut forests and over-fished lakes. Every able-bodied teenager is conscripted into a labor force and sent to work in harsh, prison-like conditions. They are enslaved young so they never learn to think for themselves. But Penn is different. He's determined to win back freedom-for himself, his friends, and someday for his homeland. On a cold autumn night, the group makes their dash for freedom north of the border. The fugitives endure a series of difficult wilderness challenges while pursued by the ruthless camp guards. They weave through dense forest, scale cliffs, swim through the bitterly cold lakes, and otherwise try simply to survive. Pushing his friends to the breaking point, Penn guides the fugitives through a harsh, but ironically beautiful, backdrop of amazing Northwoods scenery. Adversity and loss abound, all while an unexpected physical attraction leads to a burgeoning love story.

Should any of them survive to reach the border, will the freedom found equal all that they expectedFugitives from Northwoods

Rather than bore you with the long description above, how about a quick look at the book trailer?

It's not super high-tech fancy, but hopefully gives you a good idea what the book is about.

In less that a week, I'll find out if Fugitives from Northwoods wins a 2013 National Outdoor Book Award. It's not every day you can get an award winning book (hopefully) for as little as $2.99.

Fingers crossed...the anticipation is killing me.
