About this book

Cold weather and a dull mail boat voyage leave Charley Norton longing to see more of the Labrador coast. The New York boy has come north with his father's secretary, while his father goes hunting in Newfoundland. At Pinch-In Tickle, Charley offers a visiting boy a dollar to take him ashore and bring him back. Dillon Wallace builds this adventure for young readers around an outsider's eagerness to explore a country where winter is already closing in.

Later, Charley and Toby share a camp where finding food and judging the strength of new ice become urgent concerns. Toby's practical knowledge guides their choices, while the boys' relief after a long fast brings friendship and gratitude into the story. Coastal weather, hunting, camp life and local speech give the action its texture.
