About This Book

Two adolescent companions, aided by their Indigenous friend Nangotook, undertake a canoe voyage along a rugged northern shore in search of an island with golden sands and hidden riches. Their trip moves from routine paddling to perilous open-water crossings, storm and wreck, fog-bound disorientation, cliff caves, and inland hunts. They encounter a persistent antagonist, endure capture, fires, near-starvation, and the eerie threat of the windigo, and press on to explore remote mines. The narrative blends adventure, survival episodes, and mystery, tracking alliances, resourcefulness, and the hazards of wilderness exploration.
