Wild Chance
Whitewater Awakening
Wild Chance opens near the edge of the Boundary Waters—on an old wooden pier jutting into Devil Track Lake. Seth and Travis are anxiously awaiting the arrival of a pontoon plane. The boys are about to experience their first Canadian fly-in fishing trip. But to their shock and disappointment, when the plane taxis to the dock, a passenger seat is already occupied by a girl!
Luckily, they learn she's scheduled to be dropped off at a wilderness resort, which is especially good news given her disposition. After a quick stop to refuel and register with customs, the plane is once again winging north. Except that the sky slowly makes an alteration—from color crayon blue to irritated gray.
Eventually the change is so complete the pilot is forced to seek shelter on one of the many lakes. Shortly thereafter the teens find themselves in the throes of a harrowing exploit including more serious weather, a medical emergency and the continual character conflicts as the three teens struggle with the elements -- all the while scheming on how to best return to civilization.
Here's what readers are saying about
“Wild Chance”
Amazon reviewer, Karlajean Becvar, MN:
“I have taught Ron Gamer’s 2nd novel to my English students the past few years and can say this title is another winner! Filled with rich characters and superfluous examples of poetic technique, it’s definitely a book that’s hard to put down!”
Amazon reviewer, “Teacher and book lover”, San Diego: “Kids who love outdoor adventure will enjoy following the survival tales by Ron Gamer. I truly enjoyed the books . . . and have passed the first two books on to some of my students as well as adventure loving adults.”
