Along the way, they\'re forced to question their dad\'s insistence on self-reliance and ask just what it is that we owe to our neighbors, to our kin, and to ourselves.

Their dad, a hardcore believer in self-reliance, has stockpiled enough food and water at their isolated Nevada home to last for months.

Two brothers on a desperate trek. 21 days without power.
Esplin \'s 96 Miles is a survival story sure to appeal to fans of Gary Paulsen\'s classic Hatchet and Lauren Tarshis\'s bestselling I Survived series.
