| Synopsis

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