Thunder Ice

by Alison Acheson

Twelve-year-olds Oliver and Bert, once close friends as well as cousins, aren't speaking to each other. Neither are their fathers. To make matters worse, Oliver's dad has left town on a very dangerous mission in a desperate atempt to feed his hungry family. Set in 1880, Thunder Ice is an historical adventure novel about the rivalry between two men, two towns, and two ways of life. Prince Arthur's Landing is a boisterous mining town where people dance, gamble and enjoy the pleasures of life; Fort William is quiet, reserved and almost forgotten by the Hudson's Bay Company. Can anything bring the communities together?
