A delightful, humorous story by Gordon Korman. Suitable to accompany a Sports theme.

Jamie is a white boy recently arrived in the North and Awasin, his Cree friend is not only “opposite in appearance” but more mature in his judgements and actions. Although closer in instinct and culture to the ways of the North, he is nevertheless high-spirited enough to find himself constantly forced into unwise acts through the recklessness of his friend. The result is that they are both stranded in the northern barrens in the face of impending winter, with nothing between them and death but their own courage and ingenuity. How they meet that challenge makes irresistible reading.
