(2) 4-6 Chris, his "daredevil" uncle, and another boy, Frank, sail down the Alaskan coastline. The boat sinks, Uncle Jack with it, and the boys are left to survive in a rugged world, facing grizzly bears, wolves, and their own prickly relationship. Lawrence's muscular prose is a pleasure to read for the sheer enjoyment of active verbs and lively similes. An emotionally engaging and heart-pounding read.
