Summary: The Frigid Voyage Between Life and Death
Review: Do you like adventure storys? The thrill of not knowing if the characters will survive or whos next? Then this book is great for you. Far North by Will Hobbs is one of the best adventure books I ever read. Imagine you are a young Texas boy used to the heat who moves to Canada where it dets to 60 below zero. You just started school and you sort of became friends with your room mate. You decide to go on a bush pilot flight and you find the flight you will have fun on is the flight your friend and his uncle are going home on. Now your plane crashes and the pilot dies. You only have the emergency food, an old man, and your selves to survive. The old man who was a great help dies of a heart attack. You and your friend are on your own. The food you got hunting is stolen by mother nature. You and your friend get hurt. However you can walk. You are out of ammo for the gun. Your only choice is to walk to the nearest village at the Nahanni Bute and that is not that close. Will you survive? I highly recomend this book for people who like adventure and the curiosity of what will happen next.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Far North
Review: Does Raymond and Gabes friendship change throughout the book Far North? This novel is a great example of a fascinating book that shows how friendship can endure extreme conditions and overcome anything. Raymond and Gabe are two average teenagers who are suddenly put in a very hostile environment and are forced to either learn to live or die. In the process of learning to stay alive, Raymond and Gabe have to learn to trust each other and put each others lives and souls in each others hands. Will Hobbs writes this story of friendship and bonding masterfully. If you want a book with adventure and companionship, this is the book for you.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Page-Turner for Kids AND Adults
Review: Even though you know from the get-go that the narrator must have survived, this is the type of tale where you start worrying that the narrators are about to drown in icy waters or get eaten by grizzlys. Dinner was a tad late getting on the table the night I picked this up. :-)

My 8 year old daughter, fresh from reading "My Side of the Mountain," plodded through the beginning chapters, but by the time the float plane goes over the falls, she was hooked.

Rating: 4 stars
