EW: Bonus Question That is Not Really a Question: Big week for you, sir! Your book Stranded just hit stores as well. Give us one reason to go spend our hard earned money on it.
PROBST: STRANDED is for middle grade kids, probably 8-12 years old.  Though I’m hearing 7 year olds are reading it) It’s Survivor for kids.  Mom and Dad get married, each bringing two kids into the marriage.  They send the kids on a weekend sailing trip with their favorite Uncle Dex so they can “get to know each other.”  But a sudden storm shipwrecks them and they end up STRANDED on an island alone.  No adults.  It’s the first of a trilogy.  So far the early reads have been good and after only a few days we are already top 10 in children’s new releases.  I say thank you to all of the loyal survivor parents and young Survivor fans!  Oh – one other reason to give it a shot – we priced it to be very affordable at $6.99!! Even cheaper through Scholastic book club!

Taken from the overview page:

A family vacation becomes a game of survival!
It was supposed to be a vacation—and a chance to get to know each other better. But when a massive storm sets in without warning, four kids are shipwrecked alone on a rocky jungle island in the middle of the South Pacific. No adults. No instructions. Nobody to rely on but themselves. Can they make it home alive?

A week ago, the biggest challenge Vanessa, Buzz, Carter, and Jane had was learning to live as a new blended family. Now the four siblings must find a way to work together if they're going to make it off the island. But first they've got to learn to survive one another.
