REVIEW

This is a cute and adventurous YA story and I really enjoyed it.

Six years ago, Maddie, the daughter of a secret-service agent, and Logan, the son of the President of the United States were both ten and best friends. Then, something happened and Maddie moved to Alaska with her father.

Fast-forward six years and Maddie is still in Alaska. She has been living with her father, home-schooled, and learning survival skills. All gets disrupted when Logan is sent to Alaska to spend some time with them and just when he is starts getting settled ends up kidnapped. This is the beginning of the story and the rest is an adventurous journey.

The story takes place in an isolated region of Alaska and the characters are likable. I found the novel to be entertaining, romantic, and fun.
Overall, I enjoyed it and recommend it to readers of YA and contemporary fiction.
