When a storm is coming, most people look away.
Eddie does not.
On a school trip meant to be ordinary, Eddie notices the signs others ignore. The shifting wind. The quiet warnings scrolling across a muted television. The feeling that something is not right. Adults reassure. Rules remain in place. Life goes on.
Then the storm hits.
Separated from his class as a powerful hurricane tears through the city, Eddie is thrown into a fight for survival against rising floodwaters, collapsing buildings, and the crushing weight of fear. Injured, exhausted, and far from home, he makes a choice that changes everything. He refuses to leave someone behind.
As the disaster escalates, Eddie must rely on instinct instead of rules, courage instead of certainty, and compassion instead of fear. Along the way, he discovers that survival is not just about staying alive. It is about paying attention, taking responsibility, and deciding who you are when no one is telling you what to do.
Thrown is a gripping survival novel about disaster, bravery, and the moment a child realizes the world will not always protect you, but you can still protect others. Told with vivid intensity and emotional depth, it explores what it means to grow up in the space between danger and choice.
