About this audiobook

Her brother is dying. The only thing that can save him is somewhere in the Alaskan wilderness. So Thea goes in alone. Seventeen-year-old Thea Linwood has a forged permit, a stolen raft, and a year-old letter her missing father supposedly left behind — directions to a hidden gold cache somewhere in the Chugach backcountry. Selling it would pay for her brother's treatment. Getting there means whitewater rapids, grizzly territory, and ridgelines that have killed more experienced hikers than her. She goes anyway. But the wilderness isn't the only thing hunting her. The map is a lie. The gold is bait. And the boy who saves her life — Elias, a quiet and watchful local who seems to know these mountains too well — knows far more than he's saying. Every mile strips away another layer of the girl Thea used to be. The fear. The performance. The secrets she's carried about who she is and who she loves, packed down so tight she almost forgot they were there. Out here, with death crouching behind every ridge, the truth claws its way to the surface. And for the first time, she lets it. But the prospector who set this trap is closing in. He'll do anything to protect what the map really leads to — and Thea is running out of trail to stay ahead of him. She has to decide: trust Elias with everything, knowing he might be part of the deception. Or risk the final stretch alone, the way she started. Into the Wild Alone is a gripping and deeply felt YA survival adventure about courage under pressure, identity claimed in the wilderness, a first love that demands honesty, and the moment a girl stops surviving and starts becoming herself. Perfect for readers who love fierce heroines, wilderness survival stories, coming-of-age identity journeys, and the page-turning momentum of Rob Baddorf. An unforgettable, heart-cracking coming-of-age story.
