About this listen

During the gold rush, Alaska was transformed by a large influx of stampeders and missionaries. Many native Alaskans became lost in their own villages, but the little Suluk called James found a dream that could lift him from the world of turmoil by discovering Alaska’s greatest treasure.

What was the boy’s greatest treasure, and what was he willing to sacrifice for it?

The Arctic Investor tells a moving story about a passionate boy facing the longest odds to chase his biggest dream.

A beautiful story of a Yup'ik boy's search for identity, coping with loss, and the trials of life. I'd recommend this for anyone over 12. A story with a lot of heart.

Overall, the narration was barely noticeable. However, the odd way the footnotes were dealt with (included in the main text AS footnotes) was simultaneously helpful and distracting. Thankfully, there were only half a dozen or so throughout the entire story.
