Young author considers how a digital native could survive without a phone in new book from Palmetto Publishing
Johnny in the Wild
In "Johnny in the Wild,” Johnny Johnson breaks his phone and will be forced to socialize with his visiting grandparents⎯the horror! But when his wise grandfather suggests an adventure that leaves him stranded and lost in the wilderness, he must rely on his survival skills instead of his device. Discovering the importance of family along the way, he transforms from a tech-dependent boy to a resilient, resourceful adolescent. "Lost in the woods, Johnny is forced to grow up a bit, and the experience allows him to see that there are more important things in life than technology,” Abernethy says.
"Johnny in the Wild” is available for purchase on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.
