Recommendation - This book takes place in the Arctic wilderness. I would recommend this book for the people between the ages of 12-14 because it presents a wide range of survival events in Alaska that were both exciting and intense. A reason that this book was exciting was the things that Matthew and Kayak ran into in the wilderness. For example, when Matthew sees a helicopter coming to rescue them, Matthew says, "It's turning! The helicopter sees us! They're coming to get us!" Another example of the story being intense is when they both notice a bear is approaching. " Matthew and Kayak lay like dead men on the ice, both their heads turned so that they could watch the bear." In conclusion if you are interested in a friendship and a survival book, pick this one off the self.
