Saving Sophia — Fleur Hitchcock

All Lottie wants to do is have adventures, but no such luck. Until she meets Sophia, a girl surrounded by mystery and danger. When the two run away from a staged kayak accident to find Sophia's mum, Lottie learns a lot about being the hero. No matter how many adventures you've read about, when you're suddenly trapped in one - cold, hungry, and being chased by the bad guy - it takes all your real-life wit and bravery to survive...

From the acclaimed author of Dear Scarlett and Murder in Midwinter.
