""Karina, wake up. There's water everywhere " Cindy's panicked voice echoed through the dream, pulling her back to current history--to being lost in the Amazon, separated from Joe and the rest of her friends, lost and alone except for a young child who now depended on her to make life-preserving choices. Water splashed in Karina's face, reinforcing the urgency of the situation.
Acting responsibly had always been a problem for fourteen-year-old Karina. Even though she had become a talented ultralight airplane pilot and had been chosen for a special school project in the Amazon, Karina...

Fourteen-year-old Karina couldn't believe the judge's verdict. She was being sent to an alternative school that taught students how to fly ultralight airplanes.
Didn't the judge know Karina was the only survivor of a plane crash that killed her parents? Wasn't there something in the American justice system that prevented cruel and unusual punishment?

Karina had promised herself she would not cry, but now the tears flowed uncontrollably. What new nightmares lie ahead?

Fifteen-year-old Karina's life has changed dramatically in the last year. After losing both her parents in an airplane accident, she is now living in a facility known for using adventure education to turn troubled adolescents into responsible adults. As Karina and other students enter Devil's Icebox, a mazelike cave with a bad reputation for taking the lives of early explorers, they hope to experience a day of challenging spelunking. Instead, they soon are summoned by local authorities to rescue other spelunkers trapped inside-before it is too late.
