Narnia meets traditional Indigenous stories of the sky and constellations in an epic middle-grade fantasy series from award-winning author David Robertson.
Accompanied by Arik, a sassy Squirrel they catch stealing from the trapline, they try to save Misewa before the icy grip of winter freezes everything -- including them..
But as the need for food becomes desperate, they embark on a dangerous mission.
The only hunter supporting his starving community, Misewa, Ochek welcomes the human children, teaching them traditional ways to survive.
A portal opens to another reality, Askí, bringing them onto frozen, Barren grounds, where they meet Ochek (Fisher).
They each feel disconnected, from their culture and each other, and struggle to fit in at school and at their new home -- until they find a secret place, walled off in an unfinished attic bedroom.
Morgan and Eli, two Indigenous children forced away from their families and communities, are brought together in a foster home in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
