Fred, Con, Lila and little Max’s plane is on the way to Manaus when it falls out of the sky. Now, lost in the Amazon rainforest, they must figure out the basics of survival: water, shelter, food. Do they wait for rescue, or find a way to rescue themselves?

As they get bolder and explore further afield, they see more traces of another human inhabitant, too – and then they find the map. Who was here before and where will the map take them? 

Mia Tang has a lot of secrets: 

1. She lives in a motel, not a big house. 

2. Her parents hide immigrants. 

3. She wants to be a writer. 

It will take all of Mia's courage, kindness, and hard work to get through this year. Will she be able to go for her dreams?
