English Summary/英文概要： RED FOX ROAD IS THE INCREDIBLE STORY OF ONE TEENAGE GIRL’S RESILIENCE WHEN A FAMILY TRIP GONE AWRY LEAVES HER STRANDED ALONE IN THE WILDERNESS

Francie Fox has a passion for nature and all things survivalist. She loves camping and hiking, so when her parents surprise her with a family vacation to the Grand Canyon for her thirteenth birthday, she is ecstatic. Finally, she has a chance to test out what she’s learned from her new survival guide. Plus, the early spring chill makes it the perfect time to hike.

But their family vacation gets off to a rocky start when they take a wrong turn and their truck breaks down on an off-road path deep in the Oregon forest. With no phones and no immediate help in sight, Francie’s dad has no choice but to hike to the nearest highway for assistance, leaving her and her mother in the car to wait for him.

Things are fine at first. But as more and more time passes with no sign of her father, Francie’s mom becomes increasingly paranoid until, one morning, Francie wakes up alone with nothing but a note attached to the truck’s windshield. Her mother is gone, though all her belongings are still with Francie. Is this another one of her mental-health episodes? And where is dad with the help he promised to get?

Alone, isolated, and with limited supplies in the dense forest, Francie must rely on the knowledge and skills she has developed in order to survive. And not only must she brave the wilderness, Francie must also confront the truth of her family’s years-long struggle in the wake of her twin sister’s death.

Frances Greenslade channels her inner thirteen-year-old in her first middle-grade novel to create an inspiring tale of a young girl’s strength and resourcefulness.

弗朗西·福克斯(Francie Fox)对所有自然事物和万物的生存能力都有着强烈的兴趣。她喜好野营和远足，因此当女孩得知，父母将带着她去美国大峡谷进行一次家庭旅行作为庆祝她十三岁的礼物的时候，欣喜若狂。终于，女孩有机会检验自己从新的生存指南中所学到的知识。而且，早春的寒冷是远足的最佳时间。

Awards/获奖情况：“The road stretched away from me, a long, narrow ribbon being swallowed by sky. My heart began to thump wildly. Where was everybody? What was taking so long? The balloony feeling of panic shot up from my chest and into my head, making the road, the truck, the sky swim before my eyes. I was alone out here, surrounded by miles and miles of forest. I felt like I was the only one in the whole world.”
