About this book
Frank, Alec and Sam greet their first northern winter with plans for skating, tobogganing and an ice boat. The three visitors are guests of Mr Ross, a retired Hudson Bay Company official, and his family. A sudden November storm changes the landscape around their comfortable home, Sagasta-weekee, and turns their attention to the dogs that make travel possible across the frozen country.
Egerton Ryerson Young combines a children's adventure story with explanations of winter equipment and the skills of local guides. An expedition to the beavers' home calls for snowshoe practice, warm clothing, prepared food and a separate dog team for each boy. Their comic tumbles contrast with the guide's careful choices through fallen timber and rocky ground. Readers find friendship and outdoor excitement alongside close attention to how people and animals work together in severe cold.
