Summary:
This is the story of Yasmin, a beautiful, troubled astrophysicist and her precious, deaf ten-year-old daughter, Ruby, who arrive in a remote part of Alaska only to learn that Ruby's father, Matt, has been the victim of a catastrophic accident. Unable to accept his death as truth, Yasmin and Ruby set out into the hostile tundra to find him. They grow increasingly isolated with each frozen mile they cover as their search takes them deeper and deeper into the endless Alaskan night. Mother and daughter discover unknown strength as they press on, convinced that Matt is still alive. But as the arctic winter tightens its grip, Yasmin realizes that someone is out there trying to stop them, who is tracking them relentlessly through the soundless dark.
My Thoughts:
This isn't the genre I usually read, but this book was really good.
It turns out that Matt really is still alive and someone killed all the villagers on purpose, and doesn't want that story to be public.
Ruby is probably my favorite character. She might be deaf, but she's really strong inside, and that trait is shown various times throughout the book. She often uses sign language, other times uses a computer to talk for her, and doesn't use her real voice much, because she can't hear it, and she doesn't want to sound weird.
As I said before, this book was amazing. Not as amazing as other books I've read, but still amazing.
My Rating: 4 stars
**I received this book from Blogging for Books for my honest review. Thank you!!**
