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?

"Explore the incredible ways evolution works, from the beginnings
of life 3.5 billion years ago to the walking, talking super-apes
better known as human beings. Amazing Evolution is filled with
fascinating facts!" - The Week Junior Evolution can be a difficult
idea to wrap our brains around: it deals with random, unlikely
events, combined with vast lengths of time too enormous to
comprehend. But the evidence is all around us - in the fossils of
long-dead creatures, and in our genes and the relationships between
all living beings. Amazing Evolution shines a light on this
incredible process, from the beginnings of life around 3.8 billion
years ago, to the millions of different species alive today,
including the moon-walking, talking apes with super-powerful brains
- human beings! Filled with clear explanations, beautiful
illustrations and fascinating facts about the planet's strangest
and most spectacular creatures, Amazing Evolution will keep
children (and adults, too!) enthralled for hours. Delve into the
pages and learn what makes a fish a fish, why giraffes have such
long necks and how all living things, from cabbages to tigers, are
related! Amazing Evolution is the perfect first book about
evolution for young readers.
