Kirkus Best Teen & YA Nonfiction of 2022 "An unforgettable
physical and emotional journey." - Kirkus, STARRED review In this
harrowing survival story, Brian Koonoo takes off on a hunting trip
in Canada's Arctic. After his snowmobile breaks down, his GPS loses
signal, and his camping fuel runs low, he is left alone to survive
for seven days. Inuunira is an Inuktitut term that means "how I'm
alive," and this account shows exactly how Brian managed to stay
alive. He experiences close encounters with planes, blizzards, and
hunger, all while much of his gear is lost. Walking 60 kilometres
in search of safety, he uses the knowledge his father and Elders
taught him-modern and traditional means of navigation, finding
water, making shelters, and keeping his spirits up-to continue on.
With photos, illustrations, and diagrams throughout, readers are
sure to be inspired by this story of strong will and hope.
