      "Let’s go! Experience the magic of skating on wild ice. Two children wake up to hear the lake singing, then the wind begins wailing … or is it a wolf? They bundle up and venture out into the cold, carrying their skates. On the snow-covered shore, they spot tracks made by fox, deer, hare, mink, otter … and the wolf! In the bay, the ice is thick and smooth. They lace up their skates, step onto the ice, stroking and gliding, and the great lake sings again. In her signature poetic style, Jean E. Pendziwol describes the exhilarating experience of skating on the wild ice of Lake Superior, including the haunting singing that occurs as the ice expands and contracts. Accompanied by Todd Stewart’s breathtaking illustrations, this book will make us all long to skate wild!"-- Provided by publisher

      Elizabeth und ihre Zwillingsschwester Emily wachsen in der rauen Einsamkeit des Lake Superior auf. Ihr Vater ist Leuchtturmwärter auf Porphyry Island, einer kleinen, sturmumtosten Insel. Die beiden Mädchen sind unzertrennlich, obwohl Emily nicht spricht – doch sie hat ein bemerkenswertes Gespür für Tiere, und sie malt wunderschöne Pflanzenbilder. Ihr Bruder Charles fühlt sich für die Schwestern verantwortlich. Doch dann setzt ein schreckliches Ereignis der Idylle für immer ein Ende … Siebzig Jahre hat Elizabeth nicht mit ihrem Bruder gesprochen, als am Ufer des Sees Charles' Boot angespült wird. Von ihm fehlt jede Spur, doch sie weiß, dass es nur einen Ort gibt, zu dem er unterwegs gewesen sein kann. Nur was hat ihn nach all den Jahren dazu gebracht, nach Porphyry zurückzukehren?

      In this exquisite lullaby, the beauty and wonder of a northern winter night unfold, with images of a soft snowfall, the wild animals that appear in the garden, the twinkling stars, the gentle rhythm of the northern lights and the etchings of frost on the window pane. As the young child sleeps, wrapped in a downy blanket, a snowflake falls, and then another and another. The poem describes the forest of snow-covered pines, where a deer and fawn nibble a frozen apple, and a great gray owl swoops down with its feathers trailing through the snow. Two snowshoe hares scamper and play under the watchful eyes of a little fox, and a tiny mouse scurries in search of a midnight feast. When the snow clouds disappear, stars light up the sky, followed by the mystical shimmering of northern lights - all framed by the frost on the window. Jean E. Pendziwol's lyrical poem reflects a deep appreciation of the magic of a northern winter night where, even as a child slumbers, the world outside does not rest but continues its own natural rhythms. Isabelle Arsenault's spare, beautifully rendered illustrations, with their subtle but striking use of color, make us feel that we too are experiencing the enchantment of that northern night. They simultaneously evoke winter's nighttime life and the cozy warmth and security of a beloved child's sleep.
