About This Book

A young boy traveling on a coastal mail boat becomes stranded on the frozen Labrador coast and must endure an extended ordeal in the wild. He joins Skipper Zeb and other companions as they face storms, a shipwreck, snowbound barrens, and a desperate struggle with hunger. Encounters with wolves, a caribou hunt, dog-team troubles, trapping ventures, and tense meetings with Indigenous characters punctuate the journey. Episodes blend outdoor adventure, practical survival, and the bonds and conflicts that form under extreme northern conditions.
