Title: Not brand-name Stephen King
Review: While fans of horror author Stephen King may be disappointed with this mainstream novel of wilderness adventure and survival, fans of Stephen King, just plain author, ought to get a big kick out of it. Taking off his Master of the Macabre hat and taking a more than healthy dose of Gary Paulsen pills, King delivers a short, sharp tale of suspense without resorting to the usual genre trappings. No killers, no spooks, just a nine year old girl pitting herself against the environment. I loved it, and couldn't put it down. It's the first King novel that could be made into a really good Disney kids movie with almost no alterations (maybe cutting some of the language), and it's great.
