Description
Dave Porter is the kind of energetic, honest teenager who seems to make friends as quickly as he meets challenges. After a series of schoolyard triumphs and a restless search for his missing father and sister, he finds himself aboard a rattling train bound for the icy wilderness of the far north. Accompanied by his loyal pals Phil and Ben, Dave’s enthusiasm masks a deeper yearning for answers about his family.
In the frozen landscape, the boys confront bitter cold, treacherous ice, and the rugged life of a remote frontier camp. Along the way they discover strange tracks, a mysterious schooner on the horizon, and the occasional wild animal that tests their courage. The journey blends humor, teamwork, and the kind of wholesome bravery that makes Dave a model for young listeners, while hinting at secrets waiting to be uncovered in the harsh north.
