No cell phones. No internet. Their supplies are limited, as is their knowledge of the wilderness. Part of the group wants to wait it out. Other wants to search for help. But above all they must stay alive!My Review:Read the title, see the cover and scan the blurb. Afterwards you will not want to put this book down. My nephew Michael (age 12) chose this book for us to share after I told him I had it to review. He, his brother Josh (age 9) and cousin Tara (age 11) each got a copy and so our adventure began. As is custom in my family of readers I have the younger readers choose a book and then we talk on the phone or the come visit and we discuss the book. "Stay Alive #1 - Crash was a success for all of them. Josh and Tara claimed the groups pooling together for survival was the best part of the story. Michael liked the tips and the ever changing point of view so that you learned a little bit about all the people in the book. I in turn enjoyed listening to them as they discussed the book with me on the phone. As my family is spread across the country, books are a way of keeping us connected.Thanks to Scholastic for a series that encourage young readers to spread the wings of their imagination and fly. My rating of "Stay Alive #1 - Crash" is 4.75 out of 5 stars.

As an adult, I thought the book was good. As a teacher, who was looking for read aloud for fourth graders, I’m questioning if it might be a little too scary because there are characters who don’t survive. My verdict is still out on that.

I read this a few years back and decided to read it again. It was as good as the first time . I would recommend it to anyone who likes this kind of fiction. It has a good story plot and kids would enjoy q.

even though I don't want to be a part of the making of the film is a good day at work and the making of the film is a good day at work and the film is a good day at work and the way to get to see you soon then I can do that to you soon then I can do that to you later today or tomorrow morning and I don't know what you doing today and tomorrow night at the making of the film is a good day at work and the night before you go back to get

Great action adventure series for middle school age kids, especially boys! Bought this for our 10 yr old son and he said it's a great book, great story. He's a long time fan of the I Survived series but he's read them all ad with only one new book released a year he was wanting more. We search for a long time to find another series that was similar and are glad we found the Stay Alive series. Highly recommend!

Our 12 yrs old son read over night. He said the story is OK, but not interested in series. He has to read 40 books in this school year, so it helped to gain the number in over night.

Enjoyed the book very much. Made you not want to put the book down. Entertaining and an easy read too.

Great book about survival, choices and kids making wise decisions. You can relate to all the characters. I highly recommend this short read to kids and adults alike. It held my interest and I read it in one rainy afternoon.
