by Justin D'Ath Published by Puffin Books, 2008.
Series: Extreme Adventures
This is a jaw-snapping, heart-pounding riveting read for primary, intermediate and junior secondary students. Sam Fox is in the Antarctica with his Dad and 5 year old brother...sightseeing via plane but their plane crashes on the ice. Their Dad and pilot make it to safety however Sam and Harry are fighting for their lives in more ways than one. Each chapter is a wild, action-packed ride and the action is very believable. The story is further enhanced by some background knowledge of the Antarctica environment and the animals who live there. Whale environmentalists also feature in this book. The cover hints of what is to come....is Sam the orca's next meal? and who is the guy swinging out in the rope over the sea? More action than you would think was possible crammed into 140 pages. Enjoy!
