OLDER FICTION
Durbin, William

Wintering

(4) YA In this sequel to The Broken Blade, fourteen-year-old Pierre continues canoeing through the wilds of Canada for a fur-trading company. He makes friends with the Ojibwe natives at Windigo Point but must still endure the constant taunting of a brutish crew member. The 1801 setting is well defined, but the episodic plotting makes the novel somewhat choppy and slow paced.
