In Lost in the Barrens by Farley Mowat, readers will follow two courageous boys, Awasin and Jamie that face challenges most mountain men could not endure. When their canoe is destroyed by the treacherous rapids, they are forced to survive in the wilderness with no supplies, no food, and no hope of being rescued. As the boys go into survival mode, they build themselves an igloo for shelter, battle a grizzly bear, track wolves, and slaughter caribou for food and clothing. The boys find two lost huskies that they tame as they hope to find a way out of this menacing adventure. Paperback, Ages 12 to 17 years old.
