Northwind by Gary Paulsen

When I unboxed this book from out newest library order I was supremely excited! I remember being very fond of Hatchet when I was a kid, and I had hopes that this would be a Scandinavian flavored version.
Unfortunately I didn't particularly enjoy it... It's incredibly repetitive. Aside from the beginning there just isn't much development. Tides, canoe, berries, whales, bears, ravens, traveling north; repeat.
All the same it was beautiful and I could picture the entire book very clearly. The scenery and Leif's observations and interactions with the animals were lovely. I just wish it had taken us somewhere.
