Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 On Christmas Eve 1971, Juliane Koepcke and her mother were flying from Lima to Pucallpa, Peru. The airport had been chaotic, and several flights had been canceled the day before. People were anxious to spend time with their families.

#2 Juliane and her mother were on board a plane that was traveling from Peru to Germany. The plane entered what looked like very thick, heavy storm clouds. It began to churn as it entered the dense air in front of the clouds. People started complaining that they should turn back rather than risk going through the thick storm clouds.

#3 When Juliane woke up, a day had passed. She knew she needed to make her way out of the jungle. She crawled around in circles, screaming for her mother, until the dizziness subsided. Then, slowly, she stood up. She could walk.

#4 To remain alive, Juliane knew she had to make it out of the rain forest. She had to be aware of where she was stepping and the direction in which she was traveling. She had to mark the tree where she had landed with a distinctive pattern of leaves.
