Rick, J.D., and Spud are the Rock Jockeys. They have been practicing their climbing skills for months. Now they’re ready to tackle the sheer mountain face known as Devil’s Wall. Their equipment is in top shape; supplies are packed. With teamwork and perseverance, they hope to reach the top by nightfall. As they climb, the Rock Jockeys recall the rumors about a B-17 bomber that crashed somewhere on the mountain. But as they suddenly stumble upon the empty wreckage, they wonder: What happened to the men inside? What were they willing to do to survive? The eerie answers to these questions unearth a gruesome secret hidden for years. Gary Paulsen World of Adventure books offer children the fast-paced, exciting stories they love to read and hear. In addition to sheer thrills, The Rock Jockeys also provides valuable information on climbing equipment, techniques, and safety. Narrator Jeff Woodman captures every moment of the young climbers’ wonder and surprise.
