Lost in the Barrens
Farley Mowat. When Awasin and Jamie’s canoe is destroyed by the rapids, they must face the wilderness with no food and no hope of rescue. To survive, they build an igloo, battle a grizzly bear, track several wolves, and slaughter caribou for food and clothing. The two lost huskies they tame bring companionship and possibly a way home from their dangerous adventure. 192 pages; paperback; Bantam Books.
The Incredible Journey
Instinct told them that the way home lay to the west. And so the doughty young Labrador retriever, the roguish bull terrier and the indomitable Siamese set out through the Canadian wilderness. Separately, they would soon have died. Together, the three house pets faced starvation, exposure, and wild forest animals to make their way home to the family they love. The Incredible Journey is one of the most popular children’s stories of all time. 148 pages; paper. Proofreader’s note: The poem The Beasts is included in the front of the book. It seems to belittle man’s accountability to God.
