Jeff and his best friend Keith are ice-fishing in an old ice shack on Big Lake when a sudden blizzard blows in and their generator dies--as the boys struggle to find their way to safety they suddenly find themselves on thin ice, and when Keith falls through Jeff must find a way to save his friend from the freezing water.

Water is a big part of everyday life. People wash with it, drink it, and run inside when it falls as rain. It also seems to defy the basics of physical science by floating in liquid when frozen as ice. Readers will learn exactly why that is through accessible and age-appropriate language, as well as how liquid water becomes ice. Full-color photographs complement the main content, and an illustrated graphic organizer shows this common process step-by-step...

"Giant icebergs are cracking off ice shelves and splashing into the oceans below. Ice sheets are melting, sending more and more water rushing into the sea. What on Earth is causing this melting ice? As Earth's climate is changing, rising temperatures are causing catastrophic melting. Uncover the problems of climate change, explore its impact on Earth's ice, and dive into what we can do to help. Approachable text and engaging images bring this timely...

"We cannot prevent blizzards and ice storms, but we can learn how to minimize their impact on humans. This informative book examines what scientists know about extreme ice and snowfalls, whether we can predict them, and how we learn from each event. By studying the destruction they cause, scientists and engineers continue to come up with new and improved technologies to predict winter storms and make cities, buildings, and people safer. Case studies...

"Two children go ice skating, fall through thin ice, and once they are safely home, they learn more about how matter changes state from solid to liquid to gas"--

"Climate change is causing Arctic ice to melt quicker than it can be replaced. But what happens when there is less Arctic ice? Discover what Arctic sea ice is and why it is important, how scientists measure it, and the consequences of losing it. Then learn about the ways that people are working to preserve Arctic ice" --

Describes how global warming is causing the ice in Earth's cryosphere to melt, resulting in unexpected discoveries of archaeological artifacts that provide insights into how ancient civilizations lived.
