Sinossi
When his father is murdered, a young viking boy named Leiv stows away on a ship bound for Greenland, intending to avenge the death. But the boat is wrecked in a storm and his search for revenge becomes a struggle for survival. Leiv is saved by an Inuit brother and sister and starts a new life in an icy land. Slowly he becomes aware of a way of life and value system which centers around peace rather than war, showing a profound respect for the natural world.

Recensione
Beautifully depicted by the full page watercolour illustrations, there is a strong contrast between the two lifestyles -- the Vikings are brave and fearless warriors while the Inuits are peace loving and unmaterialistc. There is a strong emphasis on the acceptance of different culutres. Harsh at times -- paternal murder and limbs lost to frostbite -- but the story is never gruesome. The book is short and the brief text may grab the interest of reluctant, as well as confirmed, readers. --Carousel
