A story that seems to be coming true when Will and Tom hear strange noises outside of their bedroom window. And then they find the huge tracks in the snow. It has to be the Windigo - the Wandering Night Spirit of Winter And the boys know what good trackers would do so they follow the trail deep into the dark forest to uncover the mystery. Young readers will be able to improve their tracking skills as they find clues hidden in the illustrations along with Will and Tom.

"Anishinaabe Waboose's prose seamlessly threads her people's legends with her story of a modern First Nations family that is keeping its traditions alive. Award-winning illustrator Thisdale's expressive and detailed illustrations add depth to Waboose's engaging text. His mixed-media paintings successfully blend the traditional and the modern, the comfortably familiar and the uncanny, to support the story's themes. An intergenerational tale that celebrates both a specific tradition and the universal curiosity of children." -- Kirkus Starred Review "Jan Bourdeau Waboose's visually stunning picture book The Spirit Trackers introduces young readers to the story of the Windigo and the importance of 'trackers' in Anishinabe culture. . . One of the standout elements in this book was the dialogue, in particular the respectful way that Tom and Will address not only their elder, but each other. Their words are simple and clear, but there is a subtlety to the writing here that will make young readers read between the lines- what are they saying, but more importantly, what do they actually mean? Waboose manages to leave room for interpretation without leaving room for confusion. The colour scheme in The Spirit Trackers is winter all the way through, with cool blues and browns that reflect a sort of earthy calm. The most interesting thing about the illustrations is the subtle shifts and "pops" of colour on some pages that highlight certain pieces of the picture. Thisdale's work is truly captivating. The added touch of the hidden tracks in each illustration creates a lovely interaction between the reader and the story. The font size is a bit large at times as it sometimes covers up more of the illustration than is necessary, but overall the amount of text on each page would be well-suited for an early to middle elementary reader. Rather than simply sharing the story of the Windigo, The Spirit Trackers shares the spirit of the myth. Any title that so clearly and respectfully introduces pieces of Indigenous culture to young readers should be added to both school and public library collections. Recommended. " -- CM Magazine "Franois Thisdale showcases his unique blend of drawing, photography, digital imagery, and printing in The Spirit Trackers . The artist's technique, already impressive, is only getting better and better. The expressions on the boys' faces are hilarious, and the textures of snow and hair sparkle and pop, almost appearing to be three-dimensional." -- Montreal Review of Books "Richly illustrated in mixed media, Waboose weaves a story of respect for nature and family. The boy's insistence of their bravery is countered by their natural fear of the unknown -- and the stories they have heard. A great read for a stormy winter night. Beware of the Windigo!" -- kissthebookjr.blogspot.com "Gorgeous illustrations and suspenseful writing fully engross the reader and have my kids sitting on the edge of their seats every time. This emotional engagement makes it a perfect read for discussing the concept of bravery, while the story's details provide wonderful cultural education. And as a fun bonus, the endpapers show different animal tracks that you can spot throughout the book - just like good Trackers!" -- Read.
