This review is from: Frozen Fire: A Tale of Courage (Frozen Fire Mkm) (Hardcover)

This is a great adventure book! It has lots of action, and seems very realistic. I love how the title is explained near the end in a way that I, at least, never thought of and what happens at the very end. This is a great book and a fun read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Frozen Fire, September 1, 2000

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Frozen Fire: A Tale Of Courage (Paperback)

Frozen Fire is based on a true story about two boys who became lost in the Arctic and had to survive by their wits. Matthew is a boy from Arizona and his friend Kayak is an Eskimo boy. They combine their unique skills to help each other survive the hardships of their ordeal. I recommend this excellent story about friends and survival in the Arctic. It was very exciting.

4.0 out of 5 stars Frozen Fire Review by Mike Obrzut, July 12, 2000

This review is from: Frozen Fire: A Tale Of Courage (Paperback)

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.
