Summary

Gary Paulsen's Dogsong-a Newbery Honor Book and an ALA Best Book for Young Adults-is the graphic, coming-of-age tale of a modern Eskimo lad and his consuming vision quest and harrowing struggle for survival. Troubled by changes in his Alaskan village, 14-year-old Russell Suskitt seeks the counsel of the village elder-and only dog team owner. After his training in the ancient arts of hunting with bow and lance, handling sled dogs, and surviving arctic dangers, Russell embarks upon his lonely search for Eskimo manhood.

Reviews

I liked the beginning of the book and enjoyed reading about how Eskimos used to live in old ways. The story kinda lost me in the middle. I'd expected something like Hatchet but this book didn't meet the expectation. Just a personal opinion.
