Iksik ran to his cousin's side, grabbing up the wolf head harpoon.
At the curve in the trail a large shadow cascaded over the rocks.
They heard the loud panting of the beast just before it rounded the
corner, staring straight at them. A light breeze brought the
overwhelming stench of its body. It was the smell of a beast that
slept in its own filth. The long shaggy hair covering its massive
chest was layered with the dried blood of old kills. Mahak made a
mad dash to reach them, falling back at the sight of the largest
wolf he had ever seen. The back of the beast was the height of a
grown horse, its yellow eyes the size of two men's fists. It was
only a few yards away from the Ihalmiut, its body crouching as it
prepared to attack. Long strings of saliva dripped from its huge
fangs as it hungered for the taste of their flesh in its mouth. The
man who had been threatened by death many times while hunting the
mighty whales could not speak because of the terror climbing up his
throat and pulling back his tongue. There were no creatures that
the Seal Hunters had ever faced that could compare with the one
before him now.

A letter of sisterhood to Malala Yousafzai expressing the belief
that every girl has the right to go to school. This beautiful
collection of photographs from international agency Plan brings
together its "Because I am a Girl" message with the powerful
presence of Malala Yousafzai. After being shot for the simple act
of going to school in her native Pakistan, Malala has become an
international girls' rights icon and a contender for the Nobel
Peace Prize.
The book is written as a letter from girls around the world to
Malala, as they express their sympathy, sisterhood and admiration
for her. These girls, too, know the barriers that stand in the way
of a girl going to school. For some it is poverty, for others,
early marriage, discrimination or violence. In Malala, they
recognize a leader and a friend. A powerful tool for social justice
education and for commemorating July 12, Malala's birthday,
recognized by the UN as Malala Day and celebrated around the world.
A portion of proceeds will go to Plan's Because I am a Girl
campaign.
