Ten teens are left alone in the wilderness during a
three-day survival test in this multi-authored novel led by
award-winning author Shaun David Hutchinson. At Zeppelin Bend, an outdoor-education program designed to
teach troubled youth the value of hard work, cooperation,
and compassion, ten teens are left alone in the wild. The
teens are a diverse group who come from all walks of life,
and were all sent to Zeppelin Bend as a last chance to get
them to turn their lives around. They’ve just spent nearly
two weeks hiking, working, learning to survive in the
wilderness, and now their instructors have dropped them off
eighteen miles from camp with no food, no water, and only
their packs, and they’ll have to struggle to overcome their
vast differences if they hope to survive. Inspired by The Canterbury Tales, the characters in
Feral Youth, each complex and damaged in their own
ways, are enticed to tell a story (or two) with the promise
of a cash prize. The stories range from noir-inspired
revenge tales to mythological stories of fierce heroines and
angry gods. And while few of the stories are claimed to be
based in truth, they ultimately reveal more about the teller
than the truth ever could.
