We were both thoroughly glued to our seats during the reading of this book. I searched out titles and specifically choose this one for two reasons: 1) ds is very fond of both survival stories and any story that takes place at sea/on water (in this case an arctic river) 2) I have a geographical reading project going and as far as Canada goes I only have two provinces left and this would count as my North West Territories book.We sat down to read this book expecting an exciting book and Will Hobbs once again delivers.

He asked that I read him more by the author. He really enjoyed our previous two Will Hobb's read alouds Jason's Gold and it's sequel Down the Yukon.

Reason for Reading: Several reasons: I read this aloud to my son.
