The Altruism Trial
Summary
An adventure book that follows a self-centered, entitled boy as he crash-lands on an island and slowly learns the importance of selflessness and altruism. Riley Pickering knows he'll be the next Sidney Crosby, so it is expected everyone should cater to him, take care of his needs, and worship the ground he walks on. In addition, he has no patience for school, science, Mme. Capretta, the French language, or following rules. However, when a science project goes horribly wrong, Riley finds himself in the middle of the Pacific, stranded on an island scrambling to find ways to survive. When he meets two teenagers who are in a similar predicament, he begins to question whether he accidentally landed on the island, or whether he was intentionally sent there.
