A Newbery Honor Book
An ALA Best Book for Young Adults and Notable Book

A teen boy wants to trade in the noise of his contemporary world for the song of nature and the old ways in this poignant young adult adventure.

Something is bothering Russel Susskit. He hates waking up to the sound of his father’s coughing, the smell of diesel oil, the noise of snow machines starting up.

Only Oogruk, the shaman who owns the last team of dogs in the village, understands Russel’s longing for the old ways and the songs that celebrated them. But Oogruk cannot give Russel the answers he seeks; the old man can only prepare him for what he must do alone.

Driven by a strange, powerful dream of a long-ago self and by a burning desire to find his own song, Russel takes Oogruk’s dogs on an epic journey of self-discovery that will change his life forever.

I am a reading specialist in a k-8 school. As such, I work with students, especially boys, for whom selecting the right book can make the difference in whether they find reading a joy or a drudge. From page one, this classic mesmerized my students....so much so that they researched dog sledding in our New Hampshire town and have spearheaded an onsite visit from a local dogsled team. Now they are their class heroes! How much more powerful need a book be?!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful story about young boy who wants to return to his native roots
Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2014
Verified Purchase
Lovely story, that teaches the reader a lot about life and Native American traditions in the Arctic regions. Easy to read, as it is intended as a book for young adults, but it is powerful in its simplicity. I particularly enjoyed the development of the relationship between Russel and his sled dogs. The dogs were an important part of Russel's search for his native roots, and his maturity into adulthood. I would definitely recommend this read to anyone who is interested in learning about other cultures.
