Follow the Water by Ellen Cochrane
When Juliane is 17 years old, she falls out of an airplane almost 2 miles up...and survives! What makes this an even more amazing story, is she is able to survive her days and nights in the Amazon jungle for nearly two weeks, using all the knowledge she has learned from her parents and her time living at their scientific station as she grew up. But even with all of that information, survival will not be easy, or guaranteed.
Recommended for grades 7 and up.
