Why This Must Be Read: Author's summary: "It was a much needed vacation, so of course something had to go horribly wrong. On the run, all alone, and more than slightly freezing, Daniel tries to find a beacon of hope. He finds pie. Family too, but mostly pie."

The reasons to read this are already pretty well explained in the author summary ... there's danger, a resourceful and resilient Daniel, plus an affirming theme of team equals family threaded throughout. And while those are plenty enough reasons, there's also spot-on (imo) characterisation, some truly engaging wit (I love the bits of sardonic humour!), and, for those of us unfamiliar with the state, a beautifully descriptive look at a wee slice of Minnesota.
