Plot

Robie is an experienced traveler who has taken the flight from Honolulu to the Midway Atoll many times. When she has to get to Midway in a hurry after a visit with her aunt in Hawaii, she gets on the next cargo flight at the last minute. She knows the pilot, but there’s a new co-pilot named Max. All systems are go until a storm hits during the flight and an engine suddenly cuts out. 
And then . . . she’s in the water, fighting for her life. Max pulls her onto the raft, and that’s when the real terror begins. They have no water. Their only food is a bag of Skittles. There are sharks. There are islands miles and miles away. But there’s no sign of help on the way. Will Robie and Max survive? Find out in the book "The Raft."
