Surviving Antarctica by Andrea White Imagine the world of the future! No wars. The crime rate is low. School is on television! You are required to watch 30 hours of television a week! Your lessons are in the form of adventures and and game shows! No more soft, warm boring food. Your food is now in the form of crispy chips! You can skateboard on abandoned freeways. Sound perfect? Sure. Everyone gets a fair chance. One roll of the dice determines who will go to college and who will not. Only those who go to college get the decent jobs. There are other opportunities, of course. You can apply to be a contestant on Historical Survivor....and if you are chosen, you will win a nice prize. If you win MVP (Most Valuable Player) you will win a phenomenal $100,000! So what if people are killed in each of the series? Of course, there are a few rules you must play by...for starters, if you are chosen, you can't back out. You can apply RIGHT NOW! Antarctica Historical Survivor will start filming when you open your book. But a warning...once you start reading, you won't be able to put it down.
