Book 26: The Raft

The Raft by S.A. Bodeen

Robie lives on Midway Island, an Pacific island past Hawaii, where she is currently visiting her aunt, A.J.  When business suddenly calls A.J. to leave for Los Angeles, she allows Robie to stay by herself until next week when Robie's parents are expecting her home.  But then Robie gets scared and decides to head back to Midway on a small supply plane, a flight she often takes back and forth to her island.  This trip, however, is anything but typical as the plane goes down and Robie finds herself alone in a raft with Max, one of the pilots.  No one knows that she was on the plane, and she soon realizes that she'll have to rely on a total stranger to survive at sea.
