Monica, you didn't say what grade level your students are, but _Lost in
a (the?) Desert_ is one.  I don't remember the author, but I believe it
begins with R or S (if I remember the placement on the shelf
correctly!).  It's probably more of a 6th grade book, but it does tell
how the boy survived in the desert.

Another is _May Day!_ by someone beginning with "M" -- shelf placement
again! And then there is one where a boy and a girl are stranded in a car
in a snow storm, but I don't even remember the title of that one -- just
a picture of a snowboud car on the front.
