Lost Canyon by Nina Revoyr

4.0

Gwen, Oscar and Todd all go to the same gym. One of their favorite trainers, Tracy, is leading a hike in the Sierras, not too far from home and (hopefully) not too challenging. The plan is to hike 30 miles in a week. All four are looking forward to the challenge, but with some fears- bears, being away from family, the physical challenges. Things don't go as planned from the very start and then get downright dangerous.

This was a fun read- lots of adventure and tension. I think it would make an entertaining movie, and one that I would go see. One of the reviews on the book mentions the racial differences, but I didn't feel that was a main theme, though it was mentioned several times. Strength over adversity was central to the story and well done.
