About this item

Award-winning thriller for ages 10-16 that blasts along like an out-of-control snowmobile. "Compelling characters, an underdog tale, and danger around every corner." "Positive message about strength of character winning out over bullies." “It’ll build character,” Lance’s dad says as he shoves his son onto the creaking yellow bus. There are three reasons Lance should up and run from this ‘character-building’ excursion to Fort Lagrave. Firstly, winter in Hudson Bay is colder than his father’s goodbyes. Secondly, the owner of the snowbound fortress is a mustachioed madman. Thirdly, a polar bear circles the estate with its nose in the air and blood on its muzzle. But Lance doesn’t know any of that, yet. Back on the bus, the new-kid in school has more immediate problems. The hockey boys push him around like the puck, and the girls in the back row stare right through him. Little do they all know that to survive this ordeal, the ragtag group of teenagers must pull together as a team. Lance stares out of the window. The snow gets heavier and the sky gets darker. His father’s voice rings in his ears and the bus driver has his own, spine-chilling words of wisdom. “You know what they say about bears? If it’s brown, lay down. If it’s black, fight back. If it’s white, good night.” Lance closes his eyes and shivers. It’s only a five night trip. He's got this.
