This book is about a girl who gets lost in the woods during a family hiking trip. As she struggles to survive her ordeal in the woods she draws strength both from her idol Tom Gordon and from her Walkman that allows her to listen in on her favorite Red Sox games.
I was impressed by the tenacity and skill that Trisha shows surviving in the woods for as long as she does. The story does get a bit slow at points and I kept waiting for something to happen...aside from the normal disasters you would encounter wandering around in the woods. There is also a lot about baseball in here; I am not even anywhere close to being a baseball fan and many of the baseball references were lost on me.
Overall an okay read. If you are interested in survival stories with a very light element of horror to them you might like this. I did enjoy some of the survival elements here and the book is a quick read. I didn't enjoy this nearly as much as some of Stephen King's other books though.
