Sled dog Samson wants nothing more than to be part of Ernest
Shackleton's historic voyage to Antarctica. He wants to feel the
snow under his paws and the wind on his face as he races across the
ice fields, and most of all he wants to help his humans find
eternal glory as they chart the last unexplored continent. His
fellow sled dog, Bummer, just wants to get through the voyage in
one piece. Why would he want to face down a dangerous, icy
wasteland when he could stay inside his kennel, warm and safe?
Treacherous seas and dangerous ice packs are not the only threat
they'll face on their voyage, however. Not every dog on
Shackleton's team is willing to put the expedition before
themselves. Amundsen, a wolf dog with a grudge against Samson, will
stop at nothing to ensure he's the best dog on the
expedition...even if it means sabotaging Samson and his friends.
When their ship, the Endurance, becomes trapped in the sea ice,
leaving the dogs and men with no way home, their journey becomes
not about personal glory, but about survival. Samson, Bummer, and
the other dogs will have to put aside their differences and band
together to rescue their humans...and themselves. With engaging
nonfiction back matter that delves into the fascinating true story
behind the book, Survival Tails: Endurance in Antarctica is sure to
keep readers entertained as the second entry in this series of
action-packed animal adventures.
