The year is 1868, and fourteen-year old Alika and his younger brother, Sulu, are hunting for seals on an ice float attached to their island in the Arctic. Suddenly the ice starts to shake, and they hear a loud crack-the terrible sound of the floe breaking free from the land. This thrilling new adventure story is a moving testament to the bond between brothers-and to the strength of the human spirit.
