Guardian Angel - Rescue on the Glacier is the true story of a dramatic multi-day rescue mission that unfolds as five passengers get stranded high in the mountains of Alaska. Armed with a positive "never quit" attitude, four elite Guardian Angel team members, commonly known as Pararescuemen or PJs, encounter countless challenges as they climb upwards through a raging blizzard toward the family in distress. Surreal and suspenseful, this one-of-a-kind nonfiction storybook dazzles children of all ages with stunning, unique illustrations of a seldom seen Alaskan landscape. The Knik Glacier rescue captivated households across the country in 2010 when it was covered by Good Morning America, Fox News, NPR and CNN. This children's storybook version provides a rare peek into the inner workings of a selfless rescue community while conveying important life lessons about hard work and determination.
