Are you ready for some of the most exciting,
death-defying escape stories ever told? The fourth installment in the Great
Escapes series is here—perfect for fans of the I Survived series!


December 13, 1920. It was a typical Monday morning when three
US Navy officials boarded a hot air balloon for an easy, routine training
flight. But as evening came, heavy rain and wind knocked Lieutenants Louis
Kloor, Stephen Farrell, and Walter Hinton off course, eventually forcing a
crash landing deep within the snowy Canadian wilderness.


As the men searched for salvation, they were overcome by
freezing temperatures, starvation, and fatigue. To survive this harrowing
experience, the brave military officers would have to go up against their
greatest enemies yet—desperation and despair.


From reluctant reader to total bookworm, each book in
this page-turning series—featuring fascinating bonus content and captivating
illustrations—will leave you excited for the next adventure!
