Launch Event | Sole Survivor by Brendan Kiely

An Amazing True Story!

We're so excited to have author BRENDAN KIELY here for the launch of his middle grade survival adventure, Sole Survivor.

Eleven-year-old Norman is no stranger to extreme situations -- whether it’s surfing big swells off Topanga Beach or skiing in a blizzard, pushed by his thrill-seeking father to realize that “anything’s possible.”

That motto is put to the ultimate test when the small plane Norman and his dad are aboard is engulfed by a snowstorm and crashes in the San Gabriel Mountains with deadly consequences. Struggling in and out of lucidity, haunted by the difficult moments in his past, a child must decide what to do while trapped eight thousand feet above sea level, facing dangers unlike any he has encountered before.

This action-packed true story from the life of co-author NORMAN OLLESTAD shows us just how courageous a child can be, braving even the most challenging environments. It's a gripping tale that readers old and young just won't be able to put down. Come grab a seat for conversation between Brendan and LANCE RUBIN, author of Zed Moonstein Makes a Friend, and listen in as they discuss this riveting read!
