Could you eat bugs or turtles if you were lost in the woods and starving? Would you cut off your own hand to save your life? Read real-life stories about adventurers who faced deadly situations and lived to tell about them in Mountains and Wilderness, part of the Escape, Rescue, and Survival book series.

This nonfiction book tells the stories of people who were attacked, lost, or injured in the wilderness—and lived to tell about it. After-reading questions, a glossary words defined on the pages they appear, and an extension activity are included in this 32-page children's book to engage readers along the way.

Whether you're exploring in the wilderness or enjoying time on the ocean, disaster can strike without warning. This nonfiction series recounts stories of survivors who have endured the unthinkable—shark bites, bear attacks, being lost and injured for days in the desert, and more. Readers are given a glimpse of their harrowing ordeals and told what they did right to ensure that they lived to see another day.
