Gr 3-6--Go surfing with your friends and choose between the Hawaii Pipeline, Nazaré beach in Portugal, and Shipstern Bluff in Tasmania--but watch out for those sharks! Or go freeskiing in British Columbia, backcountry skiing in northern Italy, or heli-skiing in Alaska (choose wisely so you don't freeze to death). If rock climbing is more your speed, check out Grand Teton National Park, the Moonlight Buttress in Zion National Park, or El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. Whatever you decide, you're likely to survive and learn a lot along the way. At the end of each book, informative chapters explain the history of each extreme sport and provide biographies of famous athletes, including Laird Hamilton, Ingrid Backstrom, and Alex Honnold. An index, a glossary, and websites are listed. VERDICT Sure to be extremely popular.
