5.0 out of 5 starsVery Exciting!
By Bev on July 18, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Itl's amazing what these kids could do. You think everything is getting better & then something else happens. The kids just keep going & try something else to survive. I'm 64 yrs old & don't believe I could come up with the ideas they have to survive. It is so nice seeing what brothers & sisters can do when they put their heads together. I love the book even though it is a kids book. Everyone would enjoy reading it. Can't wait for the next book to see what happens.

By Reading is my ESCAPE from Reality! on July 24, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
"The rain outside poured down, but the sounds in the cave seemed to bounce off one another and amplify. And that's when he heard it. A soft rustling was coming from deeper inside. Something was moving around back there. It sent a fresh wave of goose bumps down his arms."

The Sequel to Jeff Probst's book Stranded, Trial by Fire continues the adventure of the four siblings, Vanessa & Buzz, and Carter & Jane. They have been shipwrecked and stranded on a deserted island. Their parents are newly married and the two sets of siblings were on a sailing cruise to get to know each other better. Now, they are in this crazy situation and are forced to work together to survive.

This book begins where the first one left off, with a huge storm dragging their boat and all their food and gear off to sea. The kids attempt to find shelter in a cave, only to realize that something is already there. The kids face this and many other obstacles as they continue their adventure.

This book will appeal to young reluctant readers, especially those that like adventure. There are loads of dangerous situations that the kids have to find ways to escape. Each child finds they have a strength that contributes to the group's survival. They learn new things about themselves and each other.

Very enjoyable book and short. I finished it in one night. :)

5.0 out of 5 starsFour Siblings Surviving
By D. Silverheels on January 2, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
This review was approved by me, but written by my reluctantly reading grandson. With his 5 star approval, it is an excellent recommendation for other reluctant readers.

Review by: J.T.W.
Stranded 2 Trial by Fire was an exciting book! It had one problem after another that the four siblings had to try and solve. The author was very descriptive, and I was able to picture all the problems they had. I gave this book five stars because it held my interest, and I can't wait to read book 3.

This story is about four siblings that were on their uncle's boat while their parents got married and went on their honeymoon. The boat had crashed on an island with the kids trying to survive on their own while learning to get along with each other. The uncle and his first mate Joe had washed away in the life raft. At the end of Book1, the kids fell asleep and when they woke up another storm destroyed what was left of the boat. In Book 2, they had many problems: Carter got sick because he drank dirty water, they had to use their only flare to fight off the wild boars, Vanessa accidentally burnt down their shelter with their only fire, which they had to put out to save the whole woods, they also didn't have drinking water, and the three youngest get trapped on the highest point of the island (or what they call Look Out Point).

The main characters are Vanessa, Carter, Buzz, and Jane. Vanessa is the oldest; she is thirteen and is the problem solver and the one who has leadership ability. Carter is eleven, and he is the athlete of the bunch. Buzz is also eleven, but just a little younger than Carter. He is the also the technology geek. Jane is the youngest; she is nine and is also the little thinker, and the positive one. These kids had to try to work to survive and be rescued.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsGood YA Action-Adventure Series Pitting Four Kids Against One Another. Will They Survive?
By Bill Anderson TOP 500 REVIEWER on October 25, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition
Length: print, 209 pages; audio, 3 hours, 3 minutes.

This is book two in a series for young adults looking for good action-adventure stories hat pit kids in a desperate search for survival with little more than their own wits as tools.

The series, inspired by Jeff Probst's reality TV series, Survivor, is set in a clean English that no parent should find objectionable but that is truer to life for kids brought together as one family comprised of the kids from two families.

In other words, these four kids, aged 13 and under, experience as great a challenge with one another as from the weather, food shortage, or wild boars. To survive, they need to form a team. Will they succeed?

Unfortunately, this is not a series that can be read out of order. To fully appreciate book two, you Ned to read book one first.

My wife and I enjoyed the series primarily while driving, so I bout the audio version. I highly recommend buying the kindle version, but, at the same time, purchasing the audio version as a Whispersync - this saves you $3.49 and the narrator does an excellent job, reading it slow enough so you can hear each PD well enough to avaoid hitting the 30-second replay button too often.

i enjoyed Trial by Fire and plan to listen to book three tomorrow..

4.0 out of 5 starsMuch Better Than I Expected
By CC Thomas on May 14, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition
I really didn't expect much from this series, but what a pleasant surprise they have been. They're great! This is the second in a trilogy and you have to read them in order. This one starts right where the other stopped...literally the very next moment.

Four brothers and sisters are still stranded on an island. Now, they have to learn to survive on their own, which won't be easy as they are typical techno kids of today. They know nothing of surviving in the wild. They really are surviving with scrounging to find foo, water and shelter. No breaks here! This makes the story realistic and so much better! They encounter more defeats than successes, but they don't give up. What a great lesson for young people! This one has less adventure, but more survival than the first as the stakes for their lives are upped minute by minute. Equal time is given to all of the main characters and it's hard to say which one I like best. All are fallible and loveable and brave. It's also a story of a fractured family learning to work together, which is the real lesson behind the Hollywood TV glamour of the name on the front.

In case you're worried, the books are not like the show. This book is full of heart and perfectly safe and ethically appropriate for young people. There are adventures and thrills from the first page to the last. This one doesn't end so you'll have to read the third in the trilogy to finish the story. These are great books for reluctant readers. They're short and really hold the reader's attention. My students eagerly await the next installment, constantly asking me when it's coming out. It's a good read for boys or girls.
