| | 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
home—until 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 everything—including them"—Provided by publisher.
