Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In the frozen wilderness of northern Manitoba, fourteen-year-old Noah Krainik lives with his mother and cousin. With his quirky, cheerful best friend, Pelly Bay, he explores this exotic, lonely land—the domain of Cree Indians, trappers, missionaries, and fugitives from the modern world. When tragedy strikes, Noah must go on alone, discovering a new life in the south and the bustling of Toronto. It is there in the Northern Lights movie theatre—with a Cree family taking up residence in the projection booth, and the reappearance of his elusive father—that Noah becomes an adult.

I bought this book on a trip to Portland from SF. I went to Powell's looking specifically for Howard Norman titles. He is a great story teller. If i were to explain the general plot of this book, it would sound a bit boring, but it is his style that makes the world of remote Northern Canada and its inhabitants come alive.
