YA novel Grades 7 to 12 ​for ages 12-18
ULTRA-READABLE FORMAT for STRIVING READERS
by ​Lea Beddia
The only thing worse than crash landing a plane is spending a weekend
​hiking with your bully. Marisa’s only hope for a second chance at her test flight is extra credit from a survival camp weekend. As an aviation cadet, hiking in the wilderness should be a breeze. But Marisa, who is gay and out, needs the courage to deal with Aimee, a toxic basketball star and long-time bully.  When Aimee is injured on the hike, Marisa will have to decide how to help her. Getting them to safety may cost Marisa her credits. Is it worth it to save a bully?
