Survival Tails: Endurance in Antarctica (Survival Tails, 2)

Sled dogs race to survive a perilous journey across Antarctica in the second installment of Survival Tails. Sled dog Samson dreams of being part of Ernest Shackleton's historic voyage to Antarctica, eager to feel the snow and wind as he races across the ice fields and help his humans achieve glory. His fellow sled dog, Bummer, simply wants to survive the voyage safely and would prefer to remain warm in his kennel. When their ship, the Endurance, becomes trapped in sea ice with no way home, the journey shifts from one of personal glory to pure survival. Samson, Bummer, and the other dogs must set aside their differences and work together to rescue both their humans and themselves. The book includes nonfiction back matter exploring the true story behind the narrative.
