Now in paperback! This stark and commercial survival story is a modern-day Hatchet.Less than 48 hours after twelve-year-old Chris casts off on a trip to sail down the Alaskan coast with his uncle, their boat sinks. The only survivors are Chris and a boy named Frank, who hates Chris immediately. Chris and Frank have no radio, no flares, no food. Suddenly, they've got to find a way to forage, fish and scavenge supplies from the shore. Chris likes the company of a curious friendly raven more than he likes the prickly Frank. But the boys have to get along if they want to survive. Because as the days get colder, and the salmon migration ends, survival will take more than sheer force of will. There in the wilderness of Kodiak, they discover a bond they didn't expect, and through it, the compassion and teamwork that might truly be the path to rescue.

Who is the Corpse Bride? What is a Golem? And why is there no room even to swing a cat? The answers to these and many other intriguing questions can be found in this colourful collection of ten traditional Jewish stories which have been told, retold and carried through countries as far apart as Russia, Morocco, Czechoslovakia and Libya before finally being brought to Israel. The tales range from comic to romantic to thoughtful, with a cast of princes and sharp-witted scholars, flustered tailors, and even a lively corpse. Seasoned with humour, wit and ancient magic, Ann Jungman's retellings - many of them familiar to Jewish readers - will now delight a new, wider readership.
