Continued Sense of Wonder: Survival Stories

Scared, stuck, stranded, but surviving. These are the kinds of books that’ll keep us alive! 

Bring along a story of survival to share at the September discussion. The survival story might be based on a true story, or be completely fictional, set during an historical event or set in an imagined future. Survival stories are about overcoming odds, gaining resilience and skills, and include a good dose or two of adventure.
