Description
“A GRIPPING READ!”
SET IN THE LAND OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN, Drum Dance is filled with action, adventure, mystery, paranormal intrigue, and danger in Canada’s Central Arctic where Sir John Franklin and his crew froze to death searching for the Northwest Passage.
In the late 1930s, 17-year-old David Jansson agrees to spend two years at an isolated fur-trading post with his estranged father, Per, manager for the Hudson’s Bay Company. Soon regretting his decision to resume a relationship with his dad, who is not the loving father he remembers—he has become a raging, abusive alcoholic—David foolishly risks his life when he forgets that the Arctic seldom gives a man a second chance.
“Birchbark canoes are made for rivers and lakes,” Per said, “not the icy waters of the Arctic. Fall out of this, you’ll freeze before you drown!” (Young Adult, Historical Fiction)
