Told in three interwoven stories - two based on real historical events and one fictional - How to Survive the North is the story of how decisions can lead you down a different path than you expect. Metaphorically and physically!

I found the characters and the setting to be fascinating, both brought to life by vivid artwork and narrative that grabs you. Who knew the Arctic climate could be so fascinating? Watching the characters on the expeditions fight off polar bears, scurvy, hunger, and loneliness kept me engaged all the way through. In contrast, the professor in modern day fought his own demons, a narrative that paired well with decisions of the past and the will to move through life.

Highly recommend if you want something a little different with depth!
