But as soon as they get out on the ice, the competition turns disastrous. Alone. Without their cell phones. Trapped, on thin ice. Suddenly, it isn't just about the winning the derby -- it's about life and death. In one perilous night, Tanner will have to prove not to his father, but to himself, that he has the courage and determination to survive. Can Tanner and Richie survive the unthinkable? Can they survive Stranded on Thin Ice? "Preteen angst, a blinding snowstorm, and an ice-fishing competition gone wrong add up to a dramatic life-and-death struggle for two friends in this YA adventure. Edge-of-the-seat suspense and realistic portrayals of a pair of boys facing personal and elemental trials make this novel a substantial page-turner." --Kirkus Review

CassanoLochman, a lover of the outdoors, has woven compassionate insight into the struggles of being a teen with an action-filled adventure that plummets the main characters through a series of mental and physical challenges as their goal of winning an ice fishing derby takes a dramatic turn.
