About This Book
On the first whistle, the eighth grade pours onto the Boundary Trail with maps flapping like little flags. Bri claims the orange bandanna and the title of captain before anyone can argue, and Anaya feels the old familiar tug: back her up, keep the peace, don't make it weird. Then Bri's shortcut across the meadow drops them all into a freezing marsh, and the day starts asking harder questions. Jada's map work is careful. Mateo's footing is careful. Anaya has a compass in her pack and a four-beat breath she practices at home — and a growing suspicion that the loudest voice on the trail is not the one pointing north.
