Thriller Historical
Twelve-year-old Lizzie is in trouble. She used to live a
comfortable life with her loving father, but after the
stock market crash of 1929 and his sudden death, she and
her family now live in poverty. Lizzie is expected to
help support the family, but she can’t even cook without
burning food. One day, a letter arrives. Her wealthy
uncle has offered her a paying job as a summer governess
for her two young cousins at a remote logging camp, so
she travels alone into the wilderness of Vancouver,
British Columbia. To her horror, she discovers that her
uncle is missing from the camp. Penniless and stranded,
Lizzie’s worst fears are soon confirmed―she is being held
hostage by the camp's boss. “Accidents are easy to
explain in the woods,” he writes in a ransom letter to
her uncle. Lizzie learns that in order to survive, she
will have to perform the most dangerous job at the
camp―the high climber. She has one chance to save herself
and return to her family. Her intelligence and bravery
will be tested to the limit as she pulls on the climber
harness to prove to everyone, including herself, what she
is truly capable of.
