Lost in the Barrens
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lost in the Barrens is the third of Farley Mowat novels, published in 1956.
The book tells of the plight of two boys in their late teens: one white boy who has recently lost his parents, and one Indian boy from the Crees tribe of the same age. The boys embark on a mission to relieve the starvation of a neighbouring Indian village, the Chipewyans, but due to a series of unfortunate events become trapped above the tree line in Canada's Barren Lands during winter.
The characters emerge again in Mowat's Curse of the Viking Grave.
