About this book

Lauren Tarshis's 26th I Survived book transports readers deep into one of the most breathtaking -- and dangerous -- places on Earth: Botswana's Okavango Delta. This remote wilderness bursts with life, sheltering more lions, elephants, and dazzling (and deadly) creatures than almost anywhere else on the planet.

Eleven-year-old Dylan is still reeling from the injury that shattered his all-star Little League dreams back home in Boston. His film-maker older sister offers him the trip of a lifetime: to travel with her as she films a world-famous lion expert in the heart of southern Africa.

Dylan's days in the wilds of Botswana are filled with awe and wonder -- elephants splashing in lagoons, leopards growling under star-lit skies, herds of zebras racing through golden grasslands, glittering snakes basking on tree branches -- until disaster strikes.

A plane crash hurls Dylan into the unforgiving wilderness, where deadly creatures are on the prowl. Alone, injured, and terrified, Dylan must summon every ounce of strength and as he faces the deadliest predator of all: the African lion.
