About this title

Review:

"A great old-school adventure novel and the best use of the Wendigo legend I've ever read."--Mike Mignola, creator of Hellboy

"A masterful mix of gold, cold, supernatural creatures, and dread magic makes this a great action adventure story."--Garth Nix, author of the Abhorsen Trilogy

Golden and Lebbon write with a gritty assurance that brings the fantasy elements-most notably, Jack's multiple face-offs with the mythic Wendigo-down to earth. This first chapter kicks the door open for almost anything in book two.--ALA Booklist

A rollicking adventure tale for modern-day readers, depicting with great awe the unforgiving, and yet beautiful, conditions Jack confronts. There is enough biographical reality to drive curious readers into sampling the works of the actual London while they eagerly await another chapter. That is a fire worth starting.--Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) (starred review)
