Polar Boy

Review: by Sandy Fussell.

In the book Polar Boy a small boy named Iluak is afraid of whiter things, by this I mean polar bears.

Iluak is big a coward, nothing like his grandfather. His grandfather is not afraid of anything. Iluak finds himself getting nothing but bad luck. He is almost eaten by a seal and sees a raven which is known as the bird of death. Throughout this book he finds himself getting stalked by the raven.

In the middle of this story Iluak’s family finds a sick polar bear cub in a cave by itself. So they took the cub back to the igloo to heal it.

Getting to the end of the book Miki and her friend went into the snow. Then they see a polar bear, Iluak’s worst fear. Miki runs for help but her friend stayed in shock.

So when she got back she panicked and went looking for her. Iluak knew he had to step up and face his fears. He starts looking for the girl even if it means risking his life.

In the end they found the girl and Iluak faces his fears of whiter things. They heal the cub and let it go to its polar bear parent while Finn and Iluak go to Greenland to study hunting.

 This book is great for kids from 8-13. If you like a book about polar bears and fears being conquered this is the book for you. Sandy Fussell has done great job and I can not wait to read one of her other books. I give this book a 7/ 10.
