Description

What begins as a two-night camping and kayaking trek in the untamed Alaskan wilderness turns into a test of survival for Cody and her cousin Derek. While their mothers are in Juneau picking up supplies for Yakutat Lodge, the cousins sneak off in an old pickup. The taste of freedom is soon tainted when Cody's kayak is lost on the rising tide, washing away her life vest and precious supplies.

With only each other for support, the cousins face hunger and their fears of the unknown region of Southeast Alaska. As an advancing glacier floods the remote fjord, Cody and Derek find themselves facing menacing waves, immense icebergs, and wild animals. A sense that someone is following them adds to the formidable danger.

Description

What begins as a training run with sled dogs turns into a race against time for Tatum and her new friend, a Siberian Yupik boy named Cole. When a freak blizzard hits this remote island off the coast of Alaska, the duo seeks shelter overnight in a dilapidated hunting cabin. Their harrowing ordeal goes from bad to worse when wind-driven snow forces them to risk an alternate route. Stranded in the untamed wilderness, they must rely on each other—as well as their faithful huskies—to survive sub-zero temperatures and bone-numbing exhaustion. Worse still, their food supply is dangerously low. The most daunting decision comes when the strongest dog runs away. One person must go for help, while one must stay behind. Either way, they'll both be alone in the wild for an uncertain amount of time.

Description

Grab a ball! Coach calls. It s time to play soccer! Mikey is the team captain. He works hard, even if his teammates are easily distracted by anthills and whirlybirds. Down the field Mikey charges, dribbling the ball to the goal posts. He cuts and runs, rat-a-tat-tack-ing the ball.

After a tough practice, his dad and dog Socks take him to play in the park, but Mikey only wants to practice for the Big Game. Daddy offers to help, but to Mikey s dismay he doesn t put in much of an athletic effort. He keeps bending the rules and telling his impatient son to just have fun. After an irresistible ticklefest, however, Mikey comes around to Daddy s way of thinking and joins him and Socks in the best soccer game ever!

Author Sherry Shahan contrasts the excitement and fast-paced action of soccer with the simple, easy-going fun of fooling around to show young readers that there is more than one way to play and enjoy a game. Illustrator Tatjana Mai-Wyss s colorful watercolor illustrations reflect the characters winning personalities and the upbeat spirit of the story.
