So when he and his best friend\u2014outspoken \"A\" student (and social outcast) Vale Shumway\u2014head out on a camping trip to Waterton Lakes National Park with their Phys. Ed. class, Ash figures it\u2019ll be two days of bug bites, bad food, and inside jokes.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the two friends find themselves in a fight for survival.<\/p>\n<p>An unexpected October snowstorm separates Ash and Vale from the rest of their class. By the time the teens realize they\u2019ve missed the trail, they have wandered deep into the Canadian Rockies. Lost in the wilderness and hunted by deadly predators, their only hope is to work together. But with Vale\u2019s limited supplies and Ash\u2019s inexperience, can the best friends stay alive long enough to find their way back to civilization?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2019-05-31T11:00:31+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"Happy Friday and welcome to my stop on the Switchback blog tour!

ALL THE FEELS was\u00a0selected for Swoon Reads\u2019 fourth list (2015) and was nominated for YALSA\u2019s Quick Picks for Reluctant Readers (2016), and for CYBILS\u2019 Children\u2019s and Young Adult Bloggers\u2019 Literary Awards (2016).<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Stone\u2019s books have been reviewed by VOYA, Teen Reads, and School Library Journal.

She lives with her husband, three sons, and a houseful of imaginary\u00a0characters in a windy corner of Alberta, Canada.<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Stone is represented by Morty Mint of Mint Literary Agency.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Author Links<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.danikastone.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Website<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/6574168.Danika_Stone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Goodreads<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/danika_stone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/danikastoneauthor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Follow the Tour<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/xpressobooktours.com\/2019\/03\/05\/tour-sign-up-switchback-by-danika-stone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2580\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Follow-the-Tour-Here.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"810\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Follow-the-Tour-Here.png 810w, https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Follow-the-Tour-Here-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Follow-the-Tour-Here-768x427.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Giveaway<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rafflecopter.com\/rafl\/display\/d04251233076\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Enter to win a print copy of <em>Switchback<\/em> by Danika Stone!
