Synopsis

Eleven year-old sternman Josy wants red and gray sawtooth mittens like his lobster boat skipper, but the village knitter, Aunt Ester, makes him old-fashioned compass mittens. When their boat gets lost in a thick fog, however, the old-time mittens hold the key to getting home safe-there might be some magic knitted into them.

Review:

Ice Harbor Mittens .This is truly a magical book with text that would challenge a third grader but should be comfortable for the fifth grade child. The story would be lovely for a knitter to read to their child or grandchild. The illustrations are a wonderful wash of color as the characters play across the pages with whimsical reality. Another wonderful offering that gives folks a little glimpse of the working families that populate the coast of Maine. -Kate Quinn, The Working Waterfront, 12/14/2010
