Stunt Woman

Daredevil Specialist

By Greenberg, Keith Elliot

Publishers Summary:
Meet Jan Davis high above California out on the wing of an airplane! You'll see how she trains and prepares to do her dangerous work. You'll hear about hair-raising experiences she's had while doing stunts in movies like Congo, Puppet Masters, and Goldeneye. And you'll stand atop the world's highest waterfall in Venezuela as she becomes the first woman ever to jump from that site! Many people in our world face the unique demands of special careers. Some work at jobs that protect us and our families from danger. Others have learned skills needed to provide a special service or perform in a special way. The Risky Business series gives you an up-close-and-personal profile of people who do things most of us would never dream of doing. As you read about them, you'll find out what worries them and what excites them about their jobs. You'll also learn how each person trained to become an expert in his or her field. Grades 2-5; 7 1/2 x 9 ; 32 pages; 25-30 large-format, full-color photos; Sturdy library binding; Index; Further Reading
