Customer Reviews

This book is great if you like alittle suspence!

Eric and his mom traveled to Alaska see the Iditarod Sled Dog Race. Eric, in the long run, gets lost in the woods and there ends up being a snow storm. You'll see how he handles his journey back to his mom. I read this book because I like the author Jim O'Connoor. I also read this because of the other Survive books. "I don't care if I see the first sled or the twenty-first sled. Any sled will do. If I can just spot one, I'll be okay. I've got to find the race route and wait near it. Sooner or later someone will come by." thought Eric. (page 55) I think this really relates to the book. He doesn't care who he sees but he wants and/or needs to find someone because he is lost. I think the author makes the boy sound real because that's what someone would really think, who cares about the race, I need help. I loved the book because I don't like a lot of suspence in a book. This book may not be for eveyone though. It's not real interesting but is kind of exciting.
