Lost in the Barrens
Lost in the Barrens | Farley Mowat
5 posts | 7 read | 8 to read
Awasin, a Cree Indian boy, and Jamie, a Canadian orphan living with his uncle, the trapper Angus Macnair, are enchanted by the magic of the great Arctic wastes. They set out on an adventure that proves longer and more dangerous than they could have imagined. Drawing on his knowledge of the ways of the wilderness and the implacable northern elements, Farley Mowat has created a memorable tale of daring and adventure. When first published in 1956, Lost in the Barrens won the Governor-Generals Award for Juvenile Literature, the Book-of-the-Year Medal of the Canadian Association of Childrens Librarians and the Boys Club of America Junior Book Award. From the Trade Paperback edition.

#Lost

A classic Canadian children‘s book and winner of the 1956 Governor General‘s Award (for juvenile fiction). I still remember how riveted my elementary class was when our teacher read it to us. ❤️❤️

Fun Photo Friday Canada Day Edition Pt.2 No Canadian author celebration would be complete without the great Farley Mowat! We read this in the 5th grade and I was riveted. Big takeaway: never go out in the snow without sunglasses or you might get SNOWBLIND!! (ps no snark about my Habs) @Liberty
