Excellent, I stayed up until nearly dawn and finished the book earlier this afternoon. I didn't want the story to end. Rebecca Stead put together a very credible story with very strong young female and male characters mixed in with a bit a science and very early settlers similar to the pilgrims but in the Arctic Circle.

The plot is well woven with intricate patterns that come together to create a beautiful tapestry of words. The book has humor, adventure and some danger as well. The conclusion doesn't disappoint.

That book was great! Rebecca Stead is a gifted storyteller. I recommend this book to boys and girls who love adventure, sledding dogs, a bit of science and lots of snow.
