A mysterious boy who seems to come and go without warning leads lonely Sarah to the new friend which is her heart’s desire. From Publishers Weekly Wilhelm’s polished, classic watercolors and a stylized typeface intensify the invitingly nostalgic flavor of this tale set "many years ago."

  About the Book "From the edge of the plateau there was a splendid view: the Athabasca, flowing from the east, made a great curve in front of us and carried on towards the village. … At the moment we stopped, we could see lines of ten or fifteen sledges gliding on the trail made in the ice on the river.
