two for survival review

This book is about the survival of six people after a plane crash. The crashwas caused by a hijacker, Will Bennett. Will hijacked the plane because hewas going to go on trial for outrunning the police. He did not want to go tojail so he decided to hijack the plane. His plan however, backfired on himand the plane crashed in a mountain wilderness. The six people were, Annie, Desmond, Mr. Lusty, John, Mark, andMarshal O'Connor. They all realized that they needed to find a way to gethelp and survive in the cold and snowy area. They sent Mark and John togo look for help. The rest stayed, Annie and Desmond looked in the remainsof the plane for food, blankets or anything else that would help themsurvive. After days and miles of hiking Mark and John came across an oldcabin. They then checked it out and went back to the crash site to tell theothers they found shelter. Meanwhile, Annie and Desmond foundsandwiches and a box of hard candy, along with some blankets. The weather was freezing and everyone was getting restless andweaker. They ran out of food and Mark and John had to go hiking again tofind help. But things at the cabin we bad. The marshal hurt his hip, so hemostly sat around arguing with people. Desmond was getting worse andvery sick. Annie was still injured but she always tried to find help or food. Mr. Lusty was the father of the group. He never complained and he tried torationalize things. The mountain area made things difficult for Mark and John. Johnhad a bad pain in his jaw and Mark had a broken ankle. But they nevergave up. The survival of these six people all depended on them.
