Upon arriving in Ilulissat, Greenland, Gannon and Wyatt prepare for the adventure of a lifetime—a dogsled expedition in the Arctic! But before the explorers even crack a whip, they receive a desperate mayday call from an Inuit family that is stranded in the far north. Suddenly, Gannon and Wyatt's expedition to study climate change and Greenlandic culture turns into something far more dangerous—a mission to save lives. As they rush north to rescue the family, led by Inuit guides, the brothers must steer clear of deadly hidden crevasses, hungry polar bears, and bitter cold as they race into an Arctic super-storm, putting even more lives in jeopardy—their own.

In the tradition of the historic journals kept by explorers such as Lewis and Clark, Dr. David Livingstone, and Captain James Cook comes the adventure series Travels with Gannon and Wyatt. From Africa to the South Pacific, these twin brothers have traveled the world. You never know what they will encounter as they venture into the wild, but one thing is certain wherever Gannon and Wyatt go, adventure is their constant companion.

You can find Gannon and Wyatt's blog, photographs, and video footage from their real-life expeditions at travelswithgannonandwyatt.com.

      Gr 4-6-In this latest installment, twin brothers Gannon and Wyatt set off on an adventure across Greenland with their own dog sled teams. What was meant to be a purely educational experience turns into a rescue mission when they learn about several Inuit families whose dogs have been stricken with a mysterious illness, leaving them stranded and starving in the far north. Despite having experienced guides with them, Gannon and Wyatt's journey is filled with dangers: a hungry polar bear, cracking ice, and treacherous crevasses. But it is a blinding sudden storm that proves to be the most deadly challenge of all, leaving Wyatt alone in the raging blizzard with no food or supplies. Told in journal entries alternating between the two brothers, this is a gripping and informative novel featuring the land and culture of Greenland. The characters are distinct: Wyatt is serious and analytical, interested in the climate and landscape, while Gannon is more free-spirited and drawn to the stories of the native Greenlanders. Black-and-white photos depict some of the sights the brothers describe along the way. The story takes a tragic turn in the end, when one of the guides sets out through the storm to rescue Wyatt, but there are funny moments (including some fart jokes) to lighten the tone throughout. The book packs a great deal of information into a short, suspenseful read that will appeal to fans of travel and adventure stories. The accompanying website features additional information, photographs, and interviews with the real Gannon and Wyatt.-Ashley Larsen, Pacifica Libraries, CA
