Lost in the Barrens Review
If memory serves, more than forty years ago I read this story as "Two against the North" and I remember once when my wife bought as a "family film" with the title "Lost in the Barrens." I loved the book and thought the film to get it done a nice job on the screen. I think it's inevitable that some young people today is all too cynical, can enjoy the movie, but I feel his loss. I used it with my younger students, teenwith good success.
If you like good movies from good children's books that I recommend "Prince Brat and the scapegoat," the book "a scapegoat". With apologies to Mr. Fleischmann, I think the movie is in this case better than the book (a rarity). Prince Brat & Whipping Boy

Don't lose out watch Lost in the Barrens - S. V. Patten -
This is good family entertainment for older children. A very well done production, courage, courage, and shows growing friendship.
Two teens are facing the challenge of getting lost in a frozen waste of northern Canada. There is also the challenge of cross cultural setting, not only among white children and Native American boy, but the white guy in front of a new standard of living if he has to leave his college and to live with his uncle, who lives CanadaWilderness. There are a lot of tension and suspense, as well as many scenes in the redemptive value and fortitude.Lost Barrens
Good one! - S. Snodgrass - SC
Our family watched this movie on TV when our daughter was very young and recently purchased to add to our collection. It 's a very interesting and informative film. It 's exciting, but not too much for young children. Not to be missed.
The most unlikely Friends..... - Eagles Soar - USA
These two guys are from completely different worlds. Surprisingly, these are the best friends, if you have a situation where they need each other to survive or die encounter. This is a wonderful film, mixing the teachings of wise men from the Native American Indian Boy with white boys and white boys learn many lessons of the beautiful wilderness, which he learned to love and appreciate. I recommend this movie.
