Will they be rescued, or will they have to survive the brutal subarctic winter? This novel is an exciting survival story likely to be particularly popular with boys. I thought it was very similar (almost too similar) to Hatchet, although I think the two books could make an interesting ´compare and contrast´ for young readers.
. And summed up by saying great book for fans of Hatchet. Currently Far North has an overall rating of 8 over 10.

HarperTeen claimed ´Mayday! Landed on river. Engine out. Floating toward the falls.´ When the engine of their float plane fails during a water landing near the head of Canada´s monumental Virginia Falls, what began as a sightseeing detour turns into a survival mission for two high-school students and their elderly companion. With the brutal sub arctic winter about to fall like a hammer, Gabe Rogers, his boarding-school roommate, Raymond Providence, and Raymond´s great-uncle, Johnny Raven, are trapped in a deadly wilderness. Braving icy rapids and desperately hunting for moose in their struggle to fend off starvation, all three travelers must rely on the others´ knowledge and courage, or survival is out of the question.
