Ice Island
ByPublisher Description
What begins as a training run with sled dogs turns into a race against time for Tatum and her new friend, a Siberian Yupik boy named Cole. When a freak blizzard hits this remote island off the coast of Alaska, the duo seeks shelter overnight in a dilapidated hunting cabin. Their harrowing ordeal goes from bad to worse when wind-driven snow forces them to risk an alternate route. Stranded in the untamed wilderness, they must rely on each other—as well as their faithful huskies—to survive sub-zero temperatures and bone-numbing exhaustion. Worse still, their food supply is dangerously low. The most daunting decision comes when the strongest dog runs away. One person must go for help, while one must stay behind. Either way, they'll both be alone in the wild for an uncertain amount of time.

“I actually really enjoyed this book! It was given to my brother by his teacher back when he was in third grade, so I thought it might just be a cute story, but it was actually really good, and I'm glad that I took my brother's advice and read it.
I also liked the reference to the story of Balto, because I absolutely loved that book as a child. It was really interesting to learn about the way people live in Alaska, and I have a much deeper appreciation for them and their way of life now because of this book. However, I must say that I have no idea how people survived up there before electricity, heat, and store bought food. It's just absolutely incredible, and I have so much admiration for those who are able to live and thrive in such harsh climates.”
