Northern Kids would be enjoyed by both younger and older readers.
The stories recognize, respect, and illuminate the worldviews and
ways of life presented in the different stories. --Canadian
Literature: A Quarterly of Criticism and Review-- (05/05/2012)
Goyette's research skills are superb, and it shows. You can tell
she has a journalist's background because not only does she bring
immediacy to all of the first-person stories, she is also capable
of dividing the supplementary and contextual information from the
emotions of the first-person accounts by adding her own framing
article after the short nonfiction story, which is very effective.

The young people we meet in Northern Kids will win the hearts of
their southern counterparts and will help make the North truly part
of our heritage. This is a keeper. --Canadian Teacher Magazine--
