Lost in the River of Grass

by Ginny Rorby, 255 p.

While on a horrible field trip with her horrible classmates, only the most horrible thing happens to Sarah: she gets trapped deep in the Everglades with a total stranger and only their wits to get them out.

I could not put this book down.  I've been going through a string on YA lit recently where the kids are rude and snotty and expect certain things from those around them, and this was refreshing.  Sarah is younger, so that might play a part, but her voice is refreshing and not totally obnoxious and immature.  Plus, there's a love story.  Really, what is a good book without a little romantic element.
