Críticas
"A memorable tale, one that will appeal to fans of Gary Paulsen, Jack London, and even Cormac McCarthy."--"The Horn Book," Starred Review
"Sedgwick lures his readers into deeper thinking while they savor this thrillingly told tale."--"Publishers Weekly, " Starred Review "A chilling, atmospheric story that will haunt readers with its descriptions of a desolate terrain and Sig's difficult decisions."--"Kirkus Reviews," Starred Review "The bleak setting and ominous circumstances will draw immediate comparisons to a Jack London tale, but in a more accessible, spare style. Reluctant readers will be riveted by the suspense and the short chapters."--"School Library Journal," Starred Review "A carefully crafted story effectively rigidified by taut plotting and the crystalline atmospherics of its isolated setting."--"Booklist" "An elegant, brilliantly executed tale. . . . This novel of only 167 pages is packed with more excitement and wisdom than many twice its length."--"The Times" (London
