Bookroo's summary

Cody and Derek's Alaskan adventure spirals into a survival nightmare when a rising tide claims their kayak and supplies. Stranded in a wild, icy fjord, they battle hunger, fear, and the relentless forces of nature. As glaciers advance and wild animals lurk, an eerie feeling of being followed heightens their peril. Can they outwit the wilderness and the mysterious presence shadowing them?

From the publisher

What begins as a two-night camping and kayaking trek in the untamed Alaskan wilderness turns into a test of survival for Cody and her cousin Derek. While their mothers are in Juneau picking up supplies for Yakutat Lodge, the cousins sneak off in an old pickup. The taste of freedom is soon tainted when Cody’s kayak is lost on the rising tide, washing away her life vest and precious supplies. With only each other for support, the cousins face hunger and their fears of the unknown region of Southeast Alaska. As an advancing glacier floods the remote fjord, Cody and Derek find themselves facing menacing waves, immense icebergs, and wild animals. A sense that someone is following them adds to the formidable danger.
