Customer Reviews

A sweet story for any age.

This is a simple, straightforward story about a boy facing his fears. I especially felt for Lise, the mother, trying to live in a cold, primitive house while pregnant and friendless.

A warm-hearted Arctic tale.

I enjoyed this book very much and will give copies to my nieces and nephews for Christmas. They enjoy stories about snow and sled dogs, and they also like scary books. This is a different kind of story that shows how parents can support their children when they have fears and peer pressures. Many children are afraid of the dark, as the character Jean-Paul was. All in all, this is a great family type book, and I think all ages should love it. After I finished reading it, the story stayed with me for a long time. I'd like to read other books by this author and can't wait till she published a sequel to this one.

A COOL STORY!

I enjoyed this book very much. It's a different kind of novel, not a "problem" novel that we see so much of today, but more of the old-fashioned type of story that helps kids get in touch with the past. The setting was realistic and taught me a lot about the Arctic.Jean-Paul doesn't sound very smart when the book first starts out, but by the time the story ends he is VERY smart... The Eskimo Chinook is also one of my favorites, because he's very funny, and I LOVE Jean-Paul's husky, Sasha...I think this book is for all kids, even big grownup ones. People should enjoy it as much as I did. I liked the ending.

The Haunted Igloo

A great read for kids on a snowy winter night.
