The Trap

The Trap

It was getting colder. Johnny pulled the fur-lined hood of his parka over his head and walked towards his own cabin with the sound of snow crunching beneath his boots. 'He should be back tomorrow,' he thought, as a star raced across the sky just below the North Star. 'He should be back tomorrow for sure.'

Johnny's grandfather has taken far too much time to check his trap lines in the Alaskan snow. The old man is proud and stubborn, and determined to be as independent as ever. But Johnny is right to worry – his grandfather has caught his foot in his own trap. Wolves, plummeting temperatures and sheer hunger all menace him. Does he have enough wilderness craft, strength and survival instinct to stay alive? Will Johnny find him in time?
