I Am Still Alive by Kate Alice Marshall
3.0

This is a plain and simple survival story. I don't think there's anything special about it, except the dog, Bo. The author, Kate Marshall, did a really good job of capturing Jess's thoughts throughout her ordeal. It was a constant cycle of set-back, despair, action, and hope. I got tired of it after a while, but it was realistic, nonetheless.

I expected a bit more out of the plot. It had a good pace, but there were some things that I found questionable. Overall, this is a really great book for YA readers who want a break from reading about high school drama or romance.
