  <default_description>&lt;P&gt; &lt;I&gt;&lt;B&gt;In the Old Days There Were Songs&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/I&gt; &lt;P&gt; Something is bothering Russel Susskit. He hates waking up to the sound of his father's coughing, the smell of diesel oil, the noise of snow machines starting up. &lt;P&gt; Only Oogruk, the shaman who owns the last team of dogs in the village, understands Russel's longing for the old ways and the songs that celebrated them. But Oogruk cannot give Russel the answers he seeks; the old man can only prepare him for what he must do alone. Driven by a strange, powerful dream of a long-ago self and by a burning desire to find his own song, Russel takes Oogruk's dogs on an epic journey of self-discovery that will change his life forever.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I found this one in a stack of books I received from my Aunt's classroom.  At first, I couldn't believe 10-11 year old children should read about the harsh and raw lifestyle of an eskimo boy; however, the book is rich in detail about native american customs.  It is brilliant coming of age tale.  Als...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38353946">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[With Gary Paulson's books, my relationship is a little strange. I either end up hating it completely or falling completely in love with it. This was one of those I fell completely in love with. <br/><br/>The language is simple, so simple that one may mistake it as a story for children.
