Thrown 风暴所掷

When danger arrives quietly, noticing it can mean everything.

On a school trip meant to be ordinary, thirteen-year-old Eddie senses something is wrong long before anyone else does. A storm is approaching, faster and stronger than expected, but his concerns are dismissed. When the situation spirals out of control, Eddie is separated from his group and forced to rely not on rules or adults, but on his own judgment.

As a powerful hurricane transforms the city into a landscape of rising water and collapsing structures, Eddie rescues an injured dog and makes a series of choices that test his courage, empathy, and resilience. Along the way, he helps strangers, confronts fear, and learns that survival is not only about staying alive, but about responsibility and awareness.

Thrown is a gripping survival and coming-of-age novel about paying attention when others do not, about quiet bravery in moments of crisis, and about how ordinary people grow when circumstances demand more than they thought they had to give.
