    Stealth Science

    Why this book counts

    • Earth Science
    • Environment & Ecology
    • Expedition / Survival
    • Story / Adventure

    After an accident strands Gabe and Raymond in the Canadian subarctic, Raymond's remembered wilderness knowledge becomes necessary for both boys to survive cold, injury, and an icefall. The environment is an active constraint on every major decision rather than scenery around the adventure.

    The science inside

    • Ecosystems
    • Earth Systems & Geology

    Your child will meet:

    • Cold-weather survival depends on conserving body heat, energy, and limited resources.
    • Ice, terrain, and rapidly changing conditions can create linked wilderness hazards.
    • A sound survival choice uses direct evidence about weather, shelter, injury, and available resources.

    Use it this way

    At one survival decision, ask your child to list the environmental evidence Raymond and Gabe have, the option they choose, and one assumption the novel does not prove; compare the choice with a trusted wilderness source without attempting it outdoors.

    Parent effort: Simple activity

    Fifteen-year-old Texan Gabe flies north into the wild subarctic of Canada to visit his dad who is working at a diamond mine. A tragic accident leaves Gabe and his roommate Raymond stranded in a remote region of Canada. Raymond is forced to recall the wilderness knowledge that he learned in his youth in order to survive, and Gabe must find the inner strength to save them both after Raymond is injured in an icefall.
