"Vividly portrayed. . . a fast-paced adventure story with soul."
--Anita Diamant, best-selling author of The Red Tent
"The cliff-hanging excitement in Survival of the Fittest comes out of natural situations, not artificial manipulation, which makes for genuine thrills. . . . The teen and pre-teen characters are utterly real."
--Joanne Greenberg, author of I Never Promised You a Rose Garden, In This Sign, and Of Such Small Differences
"More than a tale of three children who survive a plane crash in the Peruvian rain forest, this YA adventure story has lots to say about family links, emotional abandonment, and the need to love and be loved."
--Mickey Pearlman, author of What to Read: The Essential Guide for Reading Group Members and Other Book Lovers
