North of Danger the great WWll book.,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: North of Danger (Paperback)
The book I read is called North of Danger. North of Danger is about a boy named Arne. He used to live in Oslo but then the 2nd World War started and he had to leave. He and the rest of the city took a boat to Svalbard, which is an island owned by Norway. The boy's dad is a man that studies the Arctic. He was in northern Svalbard when the British came for an evacuation. The evacuation was for the Nazis coming to attack the island because that island was the main source of resources for the British at that time. Arnes father had no way of finding out about the evacuation. Arne had to make a decision and decided to stay back and ski up north to find his dad and warn him. He started skiing after he saw the Nazis arrive. He was off he only had ten days to find and warn his dad. He ran in to a lot of things in his way. He had a map showing the houses of people along the way up north. He went on the fjord hopping that he wouldn't fall in. He just got to the other side and found this man with a big Siberian Husky. This man cared for him and decided to come along and help with the finding of his father. Arne agreed, thinking about the shortcuts that the man might have known. They left with their dog. They traveled for two days and then stopped at one of the abandoned houses. The man started to feel sick and asked Arne to help him heal. Arne knew that this would slow him down so he left without the man. He soon realized what he had done was a big mistake. Will he turn back or not? You will have to read the book North of Danger to find out. This book is a great book that I would recommend to anyone. It is especially good for people who like adventure. You should try this book its great. It really showed me courage and gave me some spirit to not give up. I didn't want to put it down for a minute.
