24 Hours in the Wilderness is a lively comic strip that tells the tale of a family stranded in the wilderness when their kayak goes adrift. Gigi, Moyo, and their Uncle Dee have ventured from the city to explore the Great Bear Rainforest. However, their adventure takes a dramatic turn when their kayak, carrying most of their belongings, drifts away, leaving them stranded in one of Earth's deepest tracts of wilderness.

The story unfolds as they grapple with finding food and shelter, face the potential danger of encountering a bear, and seek ways to get help in this remote location, devoid of roads, phones, or radios. Uncle Dee becomes the guide, sharing essential survival tricks and imparting knowledge about life in the ancient forest, stressing the importance of preserving the wilderness.

This engaging narrative is told in a lively comic book style, crafted with input from wilderness survival experts and conservationists. It serves not only as a thrilling read but also an educational resource, making it perfect for school projects.

About the Author

Ashe wasn't born; she grew on a bush. She lived in Paris and Lyon for a bit, before coming back to London to finish her studies at King's College - writing about music, film and politics in the meantime. She's happiest in icy waters, on her bicycle and sleeping outside. She moonlights as a climber. At Usborne, Ashe writes books about the human body and stories of the Moon.
