A very entertaining adventure book, for preteens and up about two boys lost in the far North of Canada and facing the approaching winter. Characterization is good and the chapters are short and the text is active. A good book for homeschoolers about living in the Arctic.

Not surprisingly, the author is Farley Mowat.

Good adventure tale. Was enjoyed by a sick friend of mine as an easy, exciting read. Book pub. in 1982.

Semi-good book.
If you want a survival type story, this will do for an evening. The movie is better.
