Lost at Windy River : a true story of survival / Trina Rathgeber ; illustrated by Alina Pete ; colored by Jillian Dolan.
"In 1944, thirteen-year-old Ilse gets lost in a fierce snowstorm while checking her family's trapline in northern Canada. Separated from her sled dogs, and without food or supplies, Ilse finds herself alone in the unforgiving barrens. She survives freezing temperatures, encounters with wild animals, snow blindness and frostbite. She must rely on Traditional Indigenous Knowledge passed down from her family, and her connection to the land and animals, if she hopes to find her way home. This true story of survival is written by Ilse's granddaughter."-- P.4 of cover.
"This graphic novel for middle-grade readers tells the true story of how a young Indigenous girl survives nine days lost in a snowstorm in Northern Canada."-- Provided by publisher.
