My 10 year old read this and has been rereading and flipping through it ever since it arrived! He said it teaches you 3 ways to build a fire, how to fish, how to help someone with a broken or sprained ankle and what to do if you don’t have a tent. We love going hiking and camping and I think this is great way to introduce basic outdoor skills in story and comic book format. I would love to see a whole series like this on outdoor skills and first aid.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent starting point for a lot of sensible wilderness advice.
Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2021
Sophia and her younger brother Alonso are spending the weekend with Grandpa, who’s going to take them fishing. They just want to stay on their phones and video games, but he manages to involve them in preparing for their trip.

There’s an air of danger to all this. Typical of the series, the book starts with a page of warnings about staying away from things that can hurt you. But Grandpa reinforces the message with emphasizing what should be in a survival pack, even for a day trip in the woods. And it’s a good thing, as in this story, for educational purposes, lots happens to the hikers!

Activities include making a fire starter (a kind of homemade sterno can) and a compass, building a campfire, cleaning and cooking a fish, taping a sprained ankle, purifying water for drinking, and building a shelter. There’s additional advice which covers how to safely hike, including avoiding ticks, how to cope with getting lost, and how to prepare a fishing rod, cast, and net a fish.

Lawrence keeps the story moving well, with relatable characters. The feeling between Abuelito and his grandkids is obvious, which provides a comforting grounding for the more dramatic events. Grandpa is big on understanding the regulations and doing things safely, which makes him an excellent guide and instructor. (The publisher provided a digital review copy.)

5.0 out of 5 stars A how-to graphic novel!
Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2021
his 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!
