Nita and Sohail are thrilled when they win scholarships to attend the Alaska Young Explorers program. Both kids could use the prize money to help their families and set out to compete as hard as they can. But things take a turn when they're paired up on an expedition. The two make a misstep while hiking down a glacier and find themselves in dangerous territory. Nita and Sohail will have to depend on each other and learn to work together...if they want to survive the Alaskan wilderness.
Who is Jake Maddox? Athlete, author, world-traveler–or all three? He has surfed in Hawaii, scuba-dived in Australia, and climbed the mountains of Peru and Alaska. His books range from the most popular team sports to outdoor activities to survival adventures and even to auto racing. His exploits have inspired numerous writers to walk in his footsteps–literally! Each of his stories is stamped with teamwork, fair play, and a strong sense of self-worth and discipline. Always a team-player, Maddox realizes it takes more than one man (or woman) to create a book good enough for a young reader. He hopes the lessons learned on the court, field, or arena and the champion sprinter pace of his books can motivate kids to become better athletes and lifelong readers.
it was about a person named Tanisha and she was a big fan of the rugged reaper and she found out that they were hosting it in her town so she decided to find a partner and they trained and trained until the rugged reaper... like u understand this book because i have done some stuff in my life like this that i don't regret and what they went through for training i understand because you are going to run into some road blocks your going to run into some difficult times during training. But i really recommend this book to other people that work out or train for stuff or athletes because they could read this maybe look back and say oh i remember that time when i was training for something and this same stuff happened to me and i understand want there going through right now and maybe that will pull them more into the book and they will finish it in 2 days because you will read it so much because you like it so much maybe as much as i do.
