This teen novel, written by Iqaluit-based Inuit author Aviaq
Johnston, is a coming-of-age story that follows a young shaman
named Pitu as he learns to use his powers and ultimately finds
himself lost in the world of the spirits. After a strange and
violent blizzard leaves Pitu stranded on the sea ice, without his
dog team or any weapons to defend himself, he soon realizes that he
is no longer in the word that he once knew. The storm has carried
him into the world of the spirits, a world populated with
terrifying creatures---black wolves with red eyes, ravenous and
constantly stalking him; water-dwelling creatures that want nothing
more than to snatch him and pull him into the frigid ocean through
an ice crack. As well as beings less frightening, but equally as
incredible, such as a lone giant who can carry Pitu in the palm of
her hand and keeps caribou and polar bears as pets. After stumbling
upon a fellow shaman who has been trapped in the spirit world for
many years, Pitu must master all of his shamanic powers to make his
way back to the world of the living, to his family, and to the girl
that he loves.
