Travel writer SHERRY SHAHAN (Frozen Stiff) not only talks the talk but walks the walk. She has written many magazine and newspaper articles based on dozens of press trips to the 49th state. Her details of the unforgiving environment and its challenges are both authentic and startling. She has also authored the photo-illustrated Dashing Through the Snow: The Story of the Jr. Iditarod.
"Riveting and atmospheric, this is a tale of teenage Tatum, who
becomes lost and separated from her friend on an Alaskan island
with only a team of dogs, a few supplies and her instincts to keep
her alive . . . Told in fast-paced third-person, this survival
adventure creates an almost otherworldly experience within a
treacherous and bracingly beautiful landscape."
- Kirkus Reviews
"Mesmerizing and intense . . . It is a mark of good storytelling
that the reader feels both the quiet solitude of vast expanses of
snow and the thrilling fear that Tatum and Cole may not make it
home again. This adventure will be a hit with both middle grade
girls and boys."
