No single book could represent such a singular, widely curious figure as Farley Mowat, but Two Against the North (Lost in the Barrens), the classic adventure tale that has introduced his work to generations of Canadians, is an excellent place to start. Set in the icy North that has been Mowat's continuing source of inspiration, Two Against the North (Lost in the Barrens) is a thrilling example of the gift for storytelling that makes almost any story Mowat wants to tell worth a listen.

Work Description
Two boys, Awasin and Jamie, get lost and attempt to survive. Do they make it?
Panting and gasping, the rifle clutched in his hand, Jamie runs as he has never run before. In the distance, he can see the Indian boy circling just out of the huge bear's reach. Jamie MUST reach his friend in time -- and his strength is running out.
