Fugitives from Northwoods
Surely someone wants to take a look at this for me, right? Free book, who could pass that up?Maybe a little more of a description would help. Think Hunger Games, specifically the forest scenes. Fugitives is a wilderness survival, adventure thriller with epic chases and non-stop action.
Not only that, but it's a 2013 National Outdoor Book Award nominee. Currently being judged with award winners to be announced in November.
Here's a look at the cheap little book trailer I made:

If there is any room left I would love to read this. Name: Ariella Holstein Email: ariellaester@gmail.com
Of course Ariella! And this thread hasn't been used in awhile, so if the author doesn't send you a copy in the next few days or so, just post in here and I'll message them!
Hi Ariella. Thanks so much for your interest. I just gifted you the copy. Let me know if you don't get it soon. I hit the wrong button and sent it before I was done typing. Oops :/
I'm glad to see this is still available to sign up! (I remember I'm part of GoodReads over school breaks and always discover new things when I do.)Kathleen Toomey, kt_toomey@sbcglobal.net
Watch your email, Kathleen. I'll gift you the copy in a minute. Thanks for your interest :)
Sure Brenda!Thanks Ariella :D Hope you participate in more RaRs :)
Thanks, Ariella.Sorry I missed your noted earlier, Brenda. I'll get that copy sent off right away.
I was wondering if a paperback copy was available for this.
That's unfortunate.My computer can't handle eBooks without crashing. lol
No worries, it's not like it's your fault my computer is 7 years old. :(
Are there still available copies to sign up for?

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...Here's my review! It's not the best (I've never written a review before) but I'll work on them :)
It's a fine review- thanks Kathleen! Hope you sign up for more then :)
So.. My Kobo is working again, and I was wondering if copies are still available for R&R.(And would these copies be readable on the Kobo?)
Daniel,The only way I can get you an ebook is to gift it through Amazon. I would guess that there has to be way for a Kobo to open and read it, but I honestly don't know if/how that's possible. Maybe someone else can answer that? Please?
I think there are online convertors that could possibly work, but I think that the only other option is to use an Amazon app on a computer or phone.
Though it is a little late for that, it looks like there are some spots left. Can I still participate?
Sure Melek! Just submit your email address and preferred format.
Thanks. :) elessarelanoure@hotmail.com it is, and I would prefer it in .epub format.
Let me know if you don't receive your copy in the next week

Synopsis:
ight teenagers escape imprisonment at a work camp to brave the wilderness. Tested to their limits, they struggle to survive their terrifying dash for freedom. After the total collapse of the world economy, the United States could not stand together. So they failed separately. In the small region-state of Winnkota, poverty and greed are turning the idyllic Northwoods of Minnesota into a barren wasteland of clear-cut forests and over-fished lakes. Every able-bodied teenager is conscripted into a labor force and sent to work in harsh, prison-like conditions. They are enslaved young so they never learn to think for themselves. But Penn is different. He's determined to win back freedom-for himself, his friends, and someday for his homeland. On a cold autumn night, the group makes their dash for freedom north of the border. The fugitives endure a series of difficult wilderness challenges while pursued by the ruthless camp guards. They weave through dense forest, scale cliffs, swim through the bitterly cold lakes, and otherwise try simply to survive. Pushing his friends to the breaking point, Penn guides the fugitives through a harsh, but ironically beautiful, backdrop of amazing Northwoods scenery. Adversity and loss abound, all while an unexpected physical attraction leads to a burgeoning love story. Should any of them survive to reach the border, will the freedom found equal all that they expected?
