Survival on a tight clock

A road crash leaves Zoe Harmon and her former best friend, Vic Niels, stranded on a remote mountain road. Zoe has type 1 diabetes and no insulin, turning the immediate challenge of getting to safety into a matter of survival. The book places that urgent predicament alongside the complications of traveling with someone from whom she is estranged. Its compact format and survival-story setup keep the stakes grounded in Zoe’s medical needs and the pair’s effort to help one another.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teen readers interested in survival fiction with immediate physical stakes
  • Readers who want a short novel with a young protagonist managing type 1 diabetes
  • Teens building reading skills, as described in the publisher’s note

Book overview

Q: If you were stranded on a deserted island, how would you survive?

A: I wouldn't.

Zoe Harmon doesn't remember what life was like before she had type one diabetes. Her insulin pump feels like a body part now--just one she has to think about a little more than she thinks about her kidneys or her liver. Yeah, it's annoying sometimes, but it sure beats being dead. When she begrudgingly accepts a ride to a school camp from her former best friend, Vic Niels, a crash sends them flying off a remote mountain road. Stranded without her phone or insulin, Zoe is forced to team up with Vic in order to save her own life. And his. Twenty-four hours stuck with Vic? Fine. But twenty-four hours without insulin? This could get deadly.

This short novel is a high-interest, low-reading level book for teen readers who are building reading skills, want a quick read or say they don't like to read! The epub edition of this title is fully accessible.
