A revisit many years later
I first read this book in 5th grade. This book, along with 3-4 others, is the reason why I love the outdoors and especially the suffering of a bitter cold winter day with the wind and snow whipping. A winter day in January in the plains or the Midwest is nothing compared to those who took on the task of surviving winter in the North. I really enjoy the way Will Hobbs ties reality and factual accounts into a fictional story and hints at real figures from this time frame and events during the Klondike Gold Rush. The narrator was very good at expressing tones and feeling and relayed the story well. If you like adventure and the outdoors, survival stories or any historical accounts of the Klondike I highly recommend this book.

I really enjoyed this story with my 7th graders.
We really learned a lot about the gold rush. The voice was very engaging and made the story come alive.
