When naturalist John Muir and Stickeen, his friend's dog, explore an Alaskan glacier, they come to a massive crevasse. The only way across is down one side and up the other. Muir cuts steps into the ice wall, but will the dog follow? The account is well told, and the acrylic and colored-pencil illustrations in icy browns, pinks, and blues may very well give the reader a chill.
