When the river first began to freeze and they were going down the river and almost lost Will Hobbs makes me feel like I am in the book because of his description of every move that the characters made. The book is set in present day, although the way that they describe the making of fires, snowshoes and camp grounds, the lack of civilization and the bitterness of the cold I sometimes felt that the setting was in pioneer times.
Along with Raymond, his Native American roommate from boarding school they take a plane ride that crashes in the desolate mountains of Canada, killing there pilot Clint and leaving them to fend for themselves to survive with Johnny Raven, Raymond’s Great-Uncle. Gabe (the main character) is from Texas and is on his way to Canada to visit his father. Will Hobbs was born in Pennsylvania in 1947 and is known for writing adventure thrillers for young people. Hobbs has written many other books including Jackson’s Gold, Down the Yukon, Wild Man Island, Jackie’s Wild Seattle, and Leaving Protection. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to survive a battle in the depths of winter in sub arctic wilderness? Far North by Will Hobbs gives its readers an authentic and thrilling view of the struggle between man and the elements.
