Still

Review"Enchanting...[Wood's]
unsentimental
rendering
of
the
glorious,
messy
rush
of
first
love
elevateWildlifefar
beyond
standard
kids-at-camp
fare.
The
wilderness
is
exquisitely
described,
and
when
it
comes
to
what's
on
everyone's
mind,
Wood
is
frank
but
never
crude,
and
often
hilarious...Wood
tackles
big
themes
head-on:
identity,
friendship,
justice,
love,
death.
Her
characters
are
all
compelling
and
believable."

"Wood
eloquently
traces
the
emotional
growth
of
two
girls
during
their
high
school's
required
nine-week
term
of
outdoor
education...[Sib
and
Lou's]
voices
reverberate
with
honesty,
vulnerability,
and
deep
emotions
and
will
leave
a
lasting
impress
on
readers."
