Book description
Napachee is tired of Sachs Harbour, Northwest Territories. He is
tired of the traditional Inuit hunt and of fighting with his father,
who shuns snowmobiles for dog sleds and tents for igloos. When two men
from the Edmonton zoo fly in to capture a polar bear cub, Napachee
spies his chance at a trip to the big city, but soon discovers that
life there is not what he had expected.
Robert Feagan is the author of the children's novels
Napachee and Mystery at Shildii Rock. He was born in
Fort McPherson, Northwest Territories, and often accompanied his Royal
Canadian Mounted Police father on patrols of the Mackenzie Delta by
dog team. Feagan has lived in Yellowknife, Cambridge Bay, and Inuvik,
but currently resides in St. Albert, Alberta, near Edmonton.
