Evan, Thank you for this piece and the previous one on John Ball. While in the Air Force, he was stationed in Alaska for a time and subsequently wrote a great boy's adventure book "Arctic Showdown". It is a fine example of how to survive in extreme cold. Also a great read about youth having to counter "adults" who think they know better than those who are well trained.
When I first read "The Cool Cottontail" I wanted to see it made into a movie. That was decades ago. I would have cast Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford as Emily and Forrest Nunn, the owners of the nudist club. HA, if it were made now they could still be cast in those parts.
Thanks Carl! You suggested Arctic Showdown to me a few years ago and I did read it and really enjoyed it! Waiting until Eli is the right age to share it with him.
