在險峻的北方海岸，少年雷夫駕著獨木舟展開逃亡之旅。瘟疫摧毀了他的家園，未知的海洋與荒野成為唯一的歸宿。這本由Gary Paulsen創作的歷史冒險小說，描寫人與自然的對抗與和解。隨著旅程深入，雷夫也逐步領會大海的力量與自己的勇氣。In the style of the masterful Hatchet, this is another high-stakes middle grade from Gary Paulsen about a boy on the knife's edge between life and death where raging seas meet a northern wilderness.This stunning historical adventure, set along a rugged coastline centuries ago, does for the sea what Hatchet does for the woods, as it relates the story of a young person’s battle to stay alive against the odds.

He flees northward, following a wild, fjord-riven shore, navigating from one danger to the next, unsure of his destination. Yet the deeper into his journey he paddles, the closer he comes to his truest self as he connects to "the heartbeat of the ocean . . . the pulse of the sea." With hints of Nordic mythology and an irresistible narrative pull, Nor
