I recommend this book to you guys.It is quite interesting.My favourite part of the story is most of the people died except for the youngest boy,Minik.But a guy has already returned to Greenland.Minik is only about six years old.I think that it is a miracle.He is the only Eskimo living in the bilzzard for 12 years in New York.After iI read the whole book,I felt a bit sad because most of them are dead.
