This was a fun little adventure book that was an entertaining, easy read. It was my first time ever reading anything set in the Arctic, and, I believe, my first foray into Eskimo lore. It made for an interesting read with a good amount of entertainment and suspense. Of course, the thing I most love about the book is that it introduced me to a new, very odd word, which I really enjoy. When I first saw "cwm" I thought it was a typo, then I saw it again, and again. A cwm, pronounced koom, is a bowl-shaped, steep-walled mountain basin carved by glaciation, often containing a small, round lake. Cool, huh? And it works in hanging with friends, haha! (well if you pluralize it, since you need four letter words, aka cwms) but I haven't had the opportunity to try it in words with friends. Something to look forward too...I lost track of what I was doing here... Oh yeah... Book review... Fun little read, enjoyed it!
