| Kids' Wilderness Epic | comment |
A genre common in The '90s, although it originated many years prior to that. You know the type: A group of modern-day kids end up somewhere in the remote wilderness and have a thrilling Coming of Age Story out there. Common plot elements include: The kids are siblings, most likely a Brother–Sister Team, with their ages ranging from about ten to fifteen or so. They have difficulty adapting to life in the wilderness and make pop culture references here and there. The girl tends to be the eldest. The villains (if there are any) will likely be Evil Poachers. They come in two varieties: menacing killers and Home Alone-esque idiots (it was the 1990s, after all). If the kids' parents show up, expect at least one of them to be a scientist studying the area. One or both of the parents are lost out in the wilderness. Obviously, they need to be rescued by inexperienced children. The difficulties of wilderness survival are Played for Drama once or twice, with a Hard-to-Light Fire or an anxious search for berries, then downplayed thereafter. The kids experience a series of death-defying (and typically improbable) stunts. Bonding ensues. The kids discover a cute animal and befriend it since All Animals Are Domesticated. The poachers want to kill it. The kids befriend a local native, who is Always Male. He shows them his ways, helps them survive and tells them about how the poachers are ruining the environment. The kids learn that Other Cultures Are Cool Too. If it's animated, the creatures hunted by the poachers will be Talking Animals, making the poachers even more unsympathetic. If the children are stranded in the remote wilderness or on an abandoned island, it can also be an example of a Robinsonade. Expect the film to contain several wide shots of the wilderness (which was probably filmed at least partially in British Columbia) accompanied by "epic-sounding" music. The tagline will contain phrases such as "magical adventure" and "unforgettable journey". |

The Bones on Black Spruce Mountain by David Budbill. Yet another example of the author having shown his work by depicting all the research and knowledge necessary to live safely in the wilderness—and this is for a trip just a few short miles away from home, for less than a week! Despite the occasional hazards and dangers the boys in the book face (particularly when climbing the titular mountain and weathering a terrible storm), the book is generally not filled with death-defying escapes due to the knowledge they have gained from camping and their next-door neighbor who acts as The Mentor. There's also no befriending of cute animals or danger from poachers and such. The book does, however, have a very mature theme to it worthy of a Newbery Medal, with the meaning of friendship, family, loneliness, and despair being explored; and the boys, who are not related but one of which has been adopted by the other's parents, do bond even more as a result of the journey. | |
