Magda’s Odyssey
Magda’s Odyssey is a lively YA wilderness adventure novel. At the outset the spunky fourteen-year-old protagonist, Magda, discovers a life altering secret–her parents are not her parents and she has an identical twin sister out there somewhere. Determined to find her, Magda runs away from home and into the wilderness, travelling ever east. Her journey leads her deep into the mountains where she battles hunger, injury, wild animals, armies of insects and her own loneliness. Magda is helped along the way by beloved animals and the kindness of unexpected friends. Readers will learn plenty about surviving in the wild as well as how to fight for their dreams. Adventures abound and the book becomes impossible to put the book down.
