Evaluation Containing Books Lost in the Barrens

Lost in the Barrens by Farley Mowat is a Fictional survival novel that takes place in Northern Canada (the story is told in a third person point of view). In this novel the main character, Jamie, moves north to work for some distant family members (the Crees). Jamie is quickly introduced to Awasin and they instantly became friends. After a while of working during the fall Jamie and Awasin are sent to help the Chipewyan tribe (the Crees rival) hunt for food. The two boys arrived at the Chipewyan

Yes, another young adult book, but what can I say? I like them. Fun read. Learned that the only fur that doesn't collect breath moisture was the wolverine and the wolf. Liked this book. Our boys will like it one day.

This is a good book if you like Hatchet and other stories about being lost in the wilderness.

A classic that I really got into a child. Likely I will re-read this one now that I am an adult.My initial rating and review were based on memories of having read the book in childhood. In re-reading the book now, I had given some thought to changing my remembered impressions. But no, if you accept the book for what it is, a book first-published in 1956 by a man who had lived in the arctic and loved the land and its peoples. And, if you add to it that the book is a solid adventure story for
