"A memorable tale, one that will appeal to fans of Gary Paulsen, Jack London, and even Cormac McCarthy." --The Horn Book, Starred Review
"Sedgwick lures his readers into deeper thinking while they savor this thrillingly told tale." --Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
"A chilling, atmospheric story that will haunt readers with its descriptions of a desolate terrain and Sig's difficult decisions." --Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
"The bleak setting and ominous circumstances will draw immediate comparisons to a Jack London tale, but in a more accessible, spare style. Reluctant readers will be riveted by the suspense and the short chapters." --School Library Journal, Starred Review
"A carefully crafted story effectively rigidified by taut plotting and the crystalline atmospherics of its isolated setting." --Booklist
"An elegant, brilliantly executed tale. . . . This novel of only 167 pages is packed with more excitement and wisdom than many twice its length." --The Times (London)
"A gripping thriller." --The Guardian

In an isolated cabin, fourteen-year-old Sig is alone with a corpse: his father, who has fallen through the ice and frozen to death only hours earlier. Then comes a stranger claiming that Sig's father owes him a share of a horde of stolen gold. Sig's only protection is a loaded Colt revolver hidden in the cabin's storeroom. The question is, will Sig use the gun, and why?

Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. "A gun is not a weapon. It's an answer. It's an answer to the questions life throws at you when there's no one else to help." In an isolated cabin in an Arctic wilderness, 14-year-old Sig is alone with a corpse—his father, who fell through the ice of the lake and froze to death only hours earlier. Then, a stranger appears outside his door: a huge, bear-like man claiming that Sig's father ran off with his gold—and threatening awful violence if Sig doesn't tell him where it is. Sig knows nothing about the gold, but he does know that there's a loaded Colt revolver hidden in the cabin. But even if Sig can get his hands on it, will he be able to shoot first? A menacing stranger. Stolen gold. And a loaded gun. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9780312547974
