Spring break starts with a surprise, when Sam and her friends get an unexpected trip to the Alaskan wilderness. They’re always prepared for an adventure, but not a plane crash! Plunged into the unforgiving terrain, they must rely on their instincts and each other to reach the top of Shadow Mountain and the help they desperately need.But standing between them and their destination is more than the terrain. Giant Kodiak bears protect the sacred land and her secrets, and a local legend shrouds the mountain in mystery. As a series of events unfold, Sam suspects that the answer to both the mystery and their salvation lies at the heart of Shadow Mountain.

WELCOME!

Thank you for visiting my page. If you’re looking for a highly-rated edge-of-your-seat survival story, click on the image to the right and get started on an epic saga!

For those interested in who I am and what makes me tick…read on!

I currently live in a small, rural town in Washington State set in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I spend my free time out hiking in the wilds and cherish the moments spent with my two grown kids and grandchild. I was a firefighter/EMT, and worked in the medical field for many years, before being fortunate enough to call myself a full-time author.

I grew up on sci-fi and have a love for mysteries and intricate plots. You'll discover my devotion to accuracy and correct science while reading my post-apocalyptic series, as well as my young adult trilogy, Forgotten origins. With plenty of action and character-driven plots, my books are full of twists that just might keep you reading late into the night.

My ongoing middle-grade mystery series, The Samantha Wolf Mysteries, has hit the best seller status on Amazon in the children's detective story genre several times and continues to grow in popularity. These engaging, fun stories herald back to the days of Nancy Drew and Trixie Beldon, and several readers claim the series is of the same caliber. These are clean reads that are suitable for the whole family to read together (for both young, and young at heart), and ALL of my books are in the Kindle Unlimited program.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very exciting!

This book has a lot of action! It was fun to read, and it kept my interest (I'm an adult). There are several things I really liked about it - it encourages kids to learn camping, hiking, survival, and first aid skills. It also is fairly realistic, in that there are plenty of times when the main characters have feelings of hopelessness, shock, and are scared, but choose to keep trying (as opposed to everything being easy). And finally, I liked the touch of respect for another culture. I really think this is a story any person who loves adventure and the outdoors would enjoy!

This is the first book I have read in this series. Now I will have to go back and read the others. I could not put it down and finished it at 4:20 am! I will be tired at work today but, well worth the read! Murphy's Law kicks these kids around, but they support each other and work their way through it. A great book!

This is an easy read for an adult, but a very intriguing adventure for the reader no matter their age. Several teenagers are stranded in the Alaskan wilderness known for its grizzly population & a legend of bad things happening. The lives of the two adults and child that survived the plane crash with them depends on the teens surviving the trek up the mountain of legend to light a signal fire. Learning to work together, trusting themselves and their combined skills against all that nature & mishap throws at them as they try to meet the time deadline, listen to the signals from their dog, and solve a mystery are a great read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly wonderful story

You can really feel the almost familial bond between Cassy, Ally, Sam, Hunter, and John. The story starts with an exciting trip to Alaska to see Sam and Hunter's father that turns tragic. It's only through sheer determination from Sam and the gang that things don't turn for the absolutely worst possible outcome. I loved the inclusion of the local Inuit legends, which to me made the story feel even more real. I truly enjoyed the story and I look forward to many more from Tara Ellis.

I love this series, I have been waiting a while for this one. I maybe 30 years old but I still like myself a good children's book every now and then.

In this adventure Sam and her brother Hunter are off to visit their father for Spring Break. Their father is still away in Alaska for his fishing job. It was supposed to be a family trip but Mrs Wolf decided that she didn't want to take the two year old twins on a long plane journey so Sam and Hunter are joined by their best friends Ally, Cassie and John.

Along with the pilot and the five children there is a young woman and her son who are also travelling to Alaska so she can visit her husband.

The journey starts off well and the pilot tells the children that there has been some issue with the fishing crews and the natives and about the Shadow Mountains that they will be flying over and some Kodiak Bears that are supposed to live in the mountains and protect the Alaskan land.

They are making good time and the weather is nice so the pilot flies off course so they can get a better view of the mountains, this though turns out to be a big mistake as the plane ends up crashing.

All 8 people on the plane end up stranded, no one is seriously injured but the pilot does need medical help, they cannot move him so the young woman and her son stay by the plane with the pilot while John takes charge using his survival skills and takes Hunter, Sam, Ally and Cassie to reach the top of Shadow Mountain to try and get the attention of any planes that are flying over so they can all be rescued.

While the children navigate their way through the mountain one of them slips over the side of the mountain and John becomes a hero saving them, then while crossing a river another one gets swept down stream.

After being swept down stream they decide to make camp for the night, the next morning Sam ventures into the woods for the bathroom and she is almost attacked by a bear when John comes and saves her life.

This story does focus mainly on the five children trying to get help but John is the main hero as he uses his survival skills to save their lives and to keep them all safe.

The story ends happily with everyone being rescued after days of being stranded and they are reunited with Mr Wolf.

I love this series, this book was different to the others as Sam and Ally did hear a legend or a tale and go off chasing it, they ended up being stranded in the middle of the legend and had to fight for survival instead of getting themselves into trouble and danger it was a nice change.
