Awasin, a Cree Indian boy, and Jamie, a Canadian orphan living with his uncle, the trapper Angus Macnair, are enchanted by the magic of the great Arctic wastes. They set out on an adventure that proves longer and more dangerous than they could have imagined. Drawing on his knowledge of the ways of the wilderness and the implacable northern elements, Farley Mowat has created a memorable tale of daring and adventure.--Amazon
When first published in 1956, Lost in the Barrens won the Governor-General’s Award for Juvenile Literature, the Book-of-the-Year Medal of the Canadian Association of Children’s Librarians and the Boys’ Club of America Junior Book Award
Amazon reviewer: Melanie (Canada on June 24, 2018) 4 of 5 Stars A good book to read TO your kids.
My son read this as part of his grade-5 group class assignment. The story is fantastic and exciting, but I found it way too sophisticated for a boy of 10. The style of writing and the turns of phrase, winding and long-winded, made it hard to keep up. But he managed to get through it (barely...he's 10!).
