Mountains and Wilderness, Grades 4 - 9

Could you eat bugs or turtles if you were lost in the woods and starving? Would you cut off your own hand to save your life? Read real-life stories about adventurers who faced deadly situations and lived to tell about them in Mountains and Wilderness, part of the Escape, Rescue, and Survival book series. This nonfiction book tells the stories of people who were attacked, lost, or injured in the wilderness—and lived to tell about it. After-reading questions, a glossary words defined on the pages they appear, and an extension activity are included in this 32-page children's book to engage readers along the way.
