On the Yukon Trail

Two boys. One radio. A whole lot of frozen danger. Curlie Carson and Joe Marion are hunting a cunning outlaw across the bitter Alaskan wilderness, armed only with their wits, their dogsled team, and a mysterious radio whisperer who seems to know the criminal's every move. But the trail grows teeth: ravenous wolves stalk their camp, blizzards bury the way forward, and reindeer rustlers lurk in the shadows. When they discover a stranded arctic expedition clinging to life on shifting sea ice, the boys must choose: keep chasing their quarry, or become the rescue party instead. The Yukon doesn't care about their mission. Survival here is the only law that matters. Roy J. Snell delivers the kind of white-knuckle adventure that made boys' adventure novels legendary: crisp, propulsive, and utterly unapologetic about letting nature and villains conspire against his young heroes.
