A winter fishing trip turns risky

A birthday ice-fishing outing in northern Minnesota gives Jimmy and his friend Ryan a chance to learn the sport and try for larger fish. Their time at the family’s lakeside home shifts when a sudden snowstorm catches them fishing on their own over thin ice. Outdoor recreation and a test of judgment are woven into this juvenile adventure, with ice fishing providing the setting for a situation that calls for the boys to respond to changing conditions.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young readers interested in fishing, winter outdoor activities, or camping-themed fiction.
  • Readers ages 9–12 looking for an adventure centered on two friends.

Book overview

Jimmy Benge is excited to celebrate his thirteenth birthday with an ice fishing adventure in northern Minnesota. He's even allowed to invite his best friend, Ryan, to spend winter break at the family's lakeside home. The two boys learn a lot about ice fishing and catch a few panfish but decide to fish for something bigger: Northern pike, the alpha predators of the lake. The trip is fun until one day, while out fishing by themselves, the boys are hit by a sudden, unexpected snowstorm and find themselves fishing on thin ice.
