| | Synopsis
|
Traveling to be reunited with her family in the Arctic, 10-year-old
Margaret Pokiak can hardly contain her excitement. It's been two years
since her parents delivered her to the school run by the dark-cloaked
nuns and brothers.
Coming ashore, Margaret spots her family, but her mother barely
recognizes her, screaming, "Not my girl." Margaret realizes she is now
marked as an outsider.
And Margaret is an outsider: she has forgotten the language and
stories of her people, and she can't even stomach the food her mother
prepares.
However, Margaret gradually relearns her language and her family's way
of living. Along the way, she discovers how important it is to remain
true to the ways of her people — and to herself.
Highlighted by archival photos and striking artwork, this first-person
account of a young girl's struggle to find her place will inspire
young readers to ask what it means to belong.
