NZ Non Fiction

Twin hunters Amber and Serena Shine on strength, survival and a lifetime seeking adventure   The impala was past the barrier of branches and there was only a metre to go before it got to the water's edge. It had to be over 35 metres away, but we were desperate. Amber whispered, 'Hold it . . . hold it . . .' The impala lowered its head to take a drink. I released my grip and let the arrow fly. Amber and Serena Shine have wild in their blood. From their first steps, the identical twins set out from the family farm in rural Waiuku with the bush and mountains in sight. Together they've run the world's highest marathon at Everest Base Camp, walked panthers in the Amazon, sailed treacherous seas from Hawai'i to San Francisco, climbed Mount Cook, raced for 322 kilometres on a dogsled, and survived naked in the African wilderness for twenty-one days on the hit Discovery show Naked and Afraid. Here the twins share their most extreme adventures, the secrets behind their strength and endurance, and advice on living life to its fullest. With go-getter attitudes, perseverance and fearlessness, the Wild Twins are all about getting outdoors and reaching your potential - returning home covered in mud and with a story to tell.
