One night, just before final exams, 18-year-old Franklin Crabbe - smart, rich, yet unhappy and semi-alcoholic - packs his gear and drives away into the woods to disappear completely. Totally unprepared for bush life, Crabbe nearly perishes until he meets someone else who has her reasons to hide.
"Crabbe is a very well written novel, and William Bell succeeds in grabbing the attention of the reader (and keeping it). Other than a minor flaws, Crabbe certainly stands out in the world of young adult literature."
— Curled Up With a Good Kid's Book
