When 14-year-old Lea finds herself alone in the wilderness of Northern Canada after a plane crash, she has no idea that this is just the beginning of a great adventure. In that wilderness, bears, wolves, mountain lions, and even lynxes roam. Lea takes on the challenge of finding her way home without any equipment or food. The daily struggle for sustenance drains her strength, but Lea does not give up. During her search, she encounters an injured lynx, whom she saves, and who becomes her loyal companion in the lonely wilderness. But is this enough to survive? Canada is a vast country located in North America, stretching between the Atlantic Ocean to the east, the Pacific Ocean to the west, and the Arctic Ocean to the north. It is 28 times larger than Germany in area, yet has only half as many inhabitants. In the forests and seas, in the taiga.
