Synopsis :

Shortlisted for Children's Travel Book of the Year, Edward Stanford Travel Writing Awards 2022

You are about to embark on a dangerous adventure. With this game in a book, use the pop-out Survival Spinner to learn your fate as you face peril after peril in a wild, rugged landscape.

You become lost in the mountains after an emergency landing. Among the snowy peaks, you are at risk from dangers including falling victim to hypothermia, being buried by an avalanche or stumbling into a deep crevasse. In your backpack, you have a sleeping bag, a thermal roll-mat, a bottle of water, a bag of nuts, waterproof matches, a pair of binoculars, a camera, a first aid kit and an old survival journal belonging to your grandfather.

As you confront each life-threatening challenge in this adventure-filled game book, place the Survival Spinner found inside the cover of the book on one of the circles on your current page, and spin. The place where the spinner points when it stops tells you if you have survived, are still living but injured or that you have perished, with a corresponding page number to turn to for each fate.

Throughout, you will learn about real-life survival techniques, including how to:

• Make a snow shelter
• Build a fire
• Survive a bear attack
• Treat a wound
• Use the sun and moon to navigate
• Cross a frozen lake

Harrowing tales of real-life wilderness survivors provide glimmers of hope as you deal with the consequences of your choices. One bad decision could lead to disaster…

Frozen Mountain is the debut book in the exhilarating Spin to Survive series. Discover real-life survival tips and stories as you navigate your own perilous journey through the wilderness guided by your decisions and the removable Survival Spinner.

Have you got what it takes to survive?

À propos des auteurs: Emily Hawkins is an award-winning author who has written more than 40 books for children. Her work combines a curiosity about history and the natural world with a love of myth, folklore and storytelling. Her best-known books include Oceanology, which appeared on the New York Times bestseller list, and A Natural History of Fairies, illustrated by Jessica Roux, which has been translated into sixteen languages. She is the author of the much-loved Spin to Survive adventure series, and the Lost Atlases books of myths and legends. Emily spent much of her childhood searching for ghosts, and she's still looking.

R. Fresson makes illustrations that nod to the past. She hand-draws in pen and ink, then colours digitally, inspired by the print processes of early 20th century comics and magazines. Her line-work is lodged in the ligne-claire style, made famous by Hergé, Joost Swarte, Bob de Moor and Theo van den Boogaard among many others. Humour is an important aspect to R. Fresson's work and she continues to develop a witty practice with a dextrous vintage aesthetic, working with clients including the New York Times, Monocle, The Guardian, GQ and The New Yorker.
