It falls into a genre of boys adventure fiction that I don't see as much of in the literature that my son reads currently (Percy Jackson etc.) The pace of the novels is a little slower than current action novels but I don't think that it is so slow that it would bore a young kid today. The novel is an interesting portrayal of a part of the world that not many people know much about, the Boreal forest of northern Canada and the barren lands north of the Boreal forest. It also represents a way of life that has probably mostly disappeared as the Indians, Eskimos and trappers live off of the land with no motorized vehicles and little in the way of modern devices beyond rifles. The novel was written post WWII but there is no chauvinism in the representation of the native people in the novel. Review: Read this book in 1959 - I looked it up on desertcart to re-read the book. It brought back many memories. It has a timeless story of the coming of age and survival in the northern barrens of Canada. A wonderful book! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #136,841 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #253 in Teen & Young Adult Survival Stories #1,045 in Contemporary Literature & Fiction #4,304 in Children's Action & Adventure Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (450) | | Dimensions | 4.12 x 0.54 x 6.87 inches | | Edition | Reissue | | ISBN-10 | 0553275259 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0553275254 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 208 pages | | Publication date | February 1, 1985 | | Publisher | Starfire | | Reading age | 12 - 17 years | ## Images ![Lost in the Barrens - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61OV4k0JgBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loved it as a kid and now again as an adult *by J***T on March 15, 2014* I remember growing up in Canada and enjoying this novel and its sequel.

It brought back many memories. It has a timeless story of the coming of age and survival in the northern barrens of Canada. A wonderful book! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Adventure Tale (Takes Me Back 46 years) *by M***N on March 31, 2016* I read this in 6th grade and truly loved it. I bought it for my son and he has not read it as of yet. He is many years older than I was when I read it but I hope that the enjoyment of the book comes through to him. It is an easy book to read but one I never forgot. I think that if you have an imagination and love adventure, you will love this book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4902033-lost-in-the-barrens](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4902033-lost-in-the-barrens) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
