A friendship tested by separation

Caleb has chosen a quieter life in Seattle with his grandfather and Ronan, his aging dog and lifelong companion. When Poppy is rushed to the hospital and Caleb and Ronan become separated, both set out to find their way back to one another. A brewing storm and lurking predators turn their search into a survival journey, while the story also considers friendship, family, and finding a place to belong. The middle-school setting and animal companion give the adventure a clear emotional center without taking it out of the wilderness-survival tradition.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Kids ages 9–12 interested in survival adventures
  • Readers who enjoy stories about close bonds between children and animals
  • Readers drawn to journeys involving friendship, family, and belonging

Book overview

The only way home is to survive.

 

Perfect for fans of Katherine Applegate, Rodman Philbrick, and Megan E. Freeman!

 

Caleb and Ronan are best friends. It doesn't matter that Ronan is a dog and Caleb is a middle-schooler. They've been together their entire lives and traveled the world together with Caleb's family.

 

But now, with Ronan too old for such adventures, Caleb has chosen to stay in Seattle, settling down with his grandfather in a quirky retirement community. Things should be calm here, maybe even boring. But then tragedy strikes, and Poppy is rushed to the hospital. Suddenly, Caleb's world erupts in chaos and he and Ronan are separated.

 

Desperate to find each other, the two friends set out on an impossible journey. But a deadly storm is brewing and predators lurk, and they have no idea where the other is. Can they find their way back together--and to Poppy--before it's too late?

 

Critically acclaimed and beloved author Martha Brockenbrough weaves a heart-pounding adventure that is equal parts survival story and finding your place in the world.
