When a plane bound for Costa Rica crashes in deep jungle, the tail section breaks free and nineteen teenagers miraculously survive. Joel Aspinall, son of a local politician and student rep on the schools council, is quick to take on the mantle of leadership, to organize everyone until a rescue party arrives. But the plane was crashed on purpose, no one knows where they are and no rescuers are coming. To make things worse, Joels decisions lead to more people dying, and hes determined to wait it out. Tom Calloway didnt want to be on this trip. Tom doesnt want to bond with his classmates he isnt the bonding type. Hed rather they just left him alone, and hes always been unfriendly enough that theyve been happy to oblige. But that was before the crash. Now he finds himself building the friendships hes always tried to avoid. And despite his determined efforts to be left alone, he begins to see that he might be the one to challenge Joel and pull off another miracle, by getting all the survivors to safety. When We Were Lost, featuring elements of Lost and Lord of the Flies, is a novel of survival, of teenagers thrust into a hostile environment. Its a novel of life and death and the razor-thin dividing line between them. And its a novel about finding a place for yourself in a world thats infinitely complex. |
