Introduction

Ten-year-old Jessica is pedaling as fast as she can with her friend Ashleigh on her bicycle following her. Jessica wants to get home before the storm hits. But when she decides to take the dirt track with a sharp drop-off on one side, everything suddenly changes.

The Accident

After Ashleigh's chain slips off her bicycle, she stops to fix it and accidentally falls over the side of the cliff. As thunder rumbles and the sky darkens, Jessica eases her way down the hillside in a desperate attempt to help Ashleigh, who is lying motionless on a ledge.

The Challenge

While rain pours and lightning streaks across the sky, now it is up to Jessica to find the girls' shelter, tend to Ashleigh's injuries, deal with the after-effects of a landslide, and somehow find a way to get help.

The Message

In this compelling children's tale, a girl who finds herself in the midst of unexpected and frightening circumstances with a friend must rely on resourcefulness, perseverance, and the spirit of cooperation in order to save both of them.
