Synopsis:
In this volume of Maker Comics, First Second's DIY graphic novel series, you'll find step-by-step instructions for seven projects that will help you survive in the wild! 

Prepare yourself before you set off on your next adventure! Whether you're hiking in the wilderness or camping in your own backyard, Survive in the Outdoors! will equip you with the know-how you need. 


My Thoughts:

This is a fantastic graphic novel that is both a sequential story and a how-to guide to being in the outdoors! 

Sophia and Alonso are whisked off to their grandfather's for a fishing trip they'd rather not be on, but their abuelito makes it a fun and educational trip by giving them a fun little DIY to do beforehand and preparing them for what may come. Along the way, a few things happen that could have potentially been dangerous or life-threatening, but Sophia and Alonso have a wonderful living guide to the outdoors that helps them through each step of the way, including an impromptu overnight stay in the wilderness!

If you like a mixture of story and useful information, or just enjoy survival stories and how-to's, this is the graphic novel for you!

Survive in the Outdoors! includes step-by-step instructions for several outdoor activities that could help you learn to stay alive in desperate wilderness situations. Learn how to build a campfire, catch and clean fish, build a shelter, and more!
