After his snowmobile breaks down halfway across the sea ice on a trip back from a fishing camp, Serapio Ittusardjuat recounts the traditional skills and knowledge he leaned on to stay alive.

This harrowing first-person account of four nights spent on the open sea ice-with few supplies and no water-shows young readers the determination and strength necessary to survive in the harsh Arctic climate, even when the worst occurs.

Reviews for How I Survived: Four Nights on the Ice

"""A straightforward yet exciting story, and an ideal tale for fans of adventure.""--School Library Journal ""This beautifully designed, highly engaging graphic novel should engross both reluctant readers and those seeking adventure.""--Quill & Quire ""This graphic novel is gripping, and I was drawn in almost immediately...This book speaks to not only the importance of self-sufficiency, but also traditional lifestyle knowledge; something that was often stamped out by colonizers with residential schooling and legislation pointedly destroying cultural knowledge.""--The Tiny Activists ""The engaging design, and a well-told survival story are sure to garner attention with readers who enjoy true tales of adventure and survival.""--Sal's Fiction Addiction"
