In the north, there are days when the sun doesn't set, but rather lingers along the horizon for a few hours before launching its daylong journey once more. In this often cold and austere place, brave kids live between the world's largest glaciers and the country's tallest peak, Mt. Logan. The fourth addition to the Courageous Kids series, Northern Kids is a survey of the history and experience of the North, told through the voices of kids. Composed of stories from the past and present, the topics range from hunting caribou with a bow and arrow, a grizzly bear visit while camping, escaping a devastating forest fire, rafting on the Yukon river, and many more. At the end of each story is section called "What do we know for sure?" that offers the reader greater depth and context.
