It's a heart-warming story for the child within that is probably best read in the depths of winter.
For more Arctic fiction, you may also enjoy [[A Summer of Drowning by John Burnside]] while younger readers - and I don't see why teens couldn't read this book too - then there's more Alaskan fiction in [[Looking For Alaska by John Green]]. You might also enjoy [[Light Boxes by Shane Jones]], which also has an ethereal quality.
