Ozaroff is a well-respected, successful merchant in the Russian port city of Archangel. The father of one son, Ozaroff gives considerable care to Alexis’ education. Alexis is taught to fear God, love his neighbor, and live according to the laws of his homeland. Ozaroff’s hope is that Alexis will take over his business some day and so he aims to prepare him for that.

When Ozaroff’s brother passes away, Ozaroff adopts his brother’s son, Ivan. Ivan has an adventurous heart and wants to follow a career on the seas. Ivan begins to

influence his buy Prozac online highly impressionable cousin, Alexis, and one day, they foolishly listen to the counsel of an English captain setting out to discover a Northwest Passage across the Arctic and make the rash decision to join their crew without consulting Ozaroff.

As the title suggests, a shipwreck off the coast of Spitsbergen (a set of Arctic islands north of Norway) finds the two young men stranded there with one of the ship’s pilots, where they struggle to survive in frigid temperatures, with little supplies, and under attacks from various animals, wondering all the while if they’ll ever be rescued.

I actually read this book each night to all four of our oldest, since the chapters were only 3-5 pages long. I will always remember this book for the “act

it out” sessions we had after many chapters. Alexis (played by Hadassah) spotted many wolves/polar bears (played by Athanasius), which were gunned down in our living room by Ivan and the pilot (played by Nehemiah and Evangeline). I’ll never forget Hadassah running into the hut yelling, “Guys, I saw a……A POE-ER BEAR!”
