Not If I Save You First

by Ally Carter

Dear Logan,
Someday I'm going to write a book: How Not to Die in Alaska - A Girl's Guide to Fashionable Survival.

I bet you don't know that a hair pin can make an excellent fishing hook. You may think you can use just any kind of mud for mud masks, but trust me, you CAN'T! In a pinch, nothing starts a fire like nail polish remover. Alaska is tough. You might know this, if you ever replied to my letters.

After Maddie's Secret Service dad takes a bullet for the president, he takes Maddie somewhere he thinks they'll be safe - far away from the White House and the president's son, Logan.

But when Logan comes to Alaska, so does the danger.

If there's one thing Alaska has taught Maddie, it's how to survive. And now her best friend's life depends on it ...

An edge-of-your-seat thriller from the internationally bestselling author of Gallagher Girls

Being friends with the president's son can be really intense.

After a botch kidnap attempt, Maddie's dad quits his post protecting the president, and moves Maddie out to the Alaskan wildness. For six years, he prepared her to prepare and save herself out there in wild, just in time for the return of Maddie's (former) best friend, Logan.

I found myself throughly entertained and often on edge as Maddie and Logan fought both the bad guys and the Alaskan wildness for survival. I thought Carter threw us a couple of great twists, and I especially loved how strong, fierce, and prepared Maddie was. She totally lived up to her "Mad-dog" nickname time and time again in this book.
