A group of sled dogs race to survive a perilous journey across
Antarctica in the exhilarating second installment of Survival Tails,
perfect for fans of the Ranger in Time and I Survived series!
Sled dog Samson wants nothing more than to be part of Ernest
Shackleton's historic voyage to Antarctica. He wants to feel the snow
under his paws and the wind on his face as he races across the ice
fields, and most of all he wants to help his humans find eternal glory
as they chart the continent. His fellow sled dog, Bummer, just wants to
get through the voyage in one piece. Why would he want to face down a
dangerous, icy wasteland when he could stay inside his kennel, warm and
safe?
When their ship, the Endurance, becomes trapped in sea ice, leaving
the dogs and men with no way home, their journey becomes not about
personal glory, but about survival. Samson, Bummer, and the other dogs
will have to put aside their differences and band together to rescue
their humans...and themselves.
With engaging nonfiction back matter that delves into the fascinating
true story behind the book, Survival Tails: Endurance in Antarctica is
sure to keep readers entertained as the second entry in this series of
action-packed animal adventures.
