Surviving Antarctica: Reality TV 2083 by Andrea White


This adventure book about 5 kids who go on a survivor show is just ok.

The characters are well developed but the plot is unrealistic. It is interesting enough to keep you semi-entertained.

It is worth the read if you borrow it or check it out from the library.


Grade: C



From the Publisher

The wind and snow blow so hard, you can't see your hand in front of your face. Your heating fuel is nearly gone, and so is your food. How do you survive?

Five fourteen–year–olds face this desperate situation on a deadly journey in Antarctica. It is 2083. They are contes–tants on a reality TV show, Antarctic Survivor, which is set up to re–create Robert F. Scott's 1912 doomed attempt to be the first to reach the South Pole.

But in 2083 reality TV is not just an act. Contestants literally relive – or die during – the simulations of events. Robert Scott and his team were experienced explorers and scientists, but their attempt to reach the Pole proved fatal. What chance does the Antarctic Survivor team have?
