The Haunted Igloo

by Bonnie Turner

For someone afraid of the dark, living in the Arctic is a severe test of courage. Ten-year-old Jean-Paul struggles to hide his fear and adjust to life in the Northwest Territory of Canada, where he is taunted by a group of Inuit boys because of his lameness caused by a birth defect. Forced imprisonment in a "haunted" igloo with only his dog for company proves to be one of the most severe challenges to face Jean-Paul in the harsh Arctic environment, including the impending birth of a sibling when his father is away on business. Now Jean-Paul and his husky must take charge! With the new baby on its way, it's a race against time as he helps his mother to the sled. They must get to the doctor fast! Jean-Paul's afraid they won't make it in time, but Sasha knows exactly what to do--she takes them straight to the Haunted Igloo!

A well told historical novel in the harsh region of the North West Territories of Canada. A classic story which includes challenges, adventures, boys and Huskies living in a small Inuit Eskimo Village where the snow is deep and the wind blows hard.

This is an exciting heart-warming story. Jean-Paul, a French boy go to the Arctic with his parents. This 10 year old boy has a his fear of the dark and his Inuit friend, Chinook is terrified of the Northern lights, Polar bears, Husky dogs and the dangers of the Arctic but by living in the Arctics they grow up fast.

The author has developed a loving fast paced, short story with plenty of excitement. An outstanding read, which I really enjoyed.
