At the beginning of the book I was a little put off by the subject but before long I was captivated by the story line. The characters were all very believable and likable and the author moved easily between the 2 worlds. The unfolding of the story had an element of surprise which I really enjoyed. I could not put this book down once I got into it.

This is about a boy who goes to greenland and learns that he and his family aren't the only ones there.
This book was awesome. In the beginning I was a little confused but then I couldn't put it down. I would give this a 100 out 100. Be sure to read this book!!!
