Wilderness Reform by Matt and Harrison Query tells the story of Ben, a troubled thirteen-year-old who is sentenced to a wilderness camp instead of juvenile detention. The camp, located in the remote Montana mountains, seems like a place for rehabilitation, but Ben soon senses that something sinister lurks beneath its surface. The book starts strong with an intense prologue that immediately captures attention, but the pacing slows significantly as it progresses, making character development feel stagnant. While the atmosphere is well-crafted, the horror elements fail to deliver the expected thrills, leaving the reader wanting more as the story drags on with little action until the final chapters.

The writing style is compelling and easy to follow, filled with natural dialogue and heartfelt reflections. Readers will find themselves quickly turning the pages as Michaela shares her triumphs and struggles. The narrative balances emotional depth with moments of hope and inspiration, making it relatable even to those unfamiliar with ballet. Overall, Taking Flight is a beautifully written testament to the human spirit and the impact of love and determination.
