Attempting Algonquin

By J Polmar Killingbeck

Not many things in life can prepare you for being caught in a snowstorm 3,700 feet up a mountain... Especially when your expedition partner is a 9-year-old boy.

Follow the true story of father and son as they make their first visit to the Adirondack Mountains on a mission to climb New York's second tallest peak, only to meet a snow storm over halfway up. With deadly ice blocking their way down and the snowfall growing heavier, Kenny and Dad must find a new way off the mountain before they are stranded in the cold overnight.

Written for teens and adults young and old, this quick and gripping book not only tells the tale of perseverance and courage but also provides detailed tips for hiking and survival, as well providing some history and information about the Adirondacks.

This edition includes a bonus story, "Kenny & The Bear".
