Jamie Bastedo’s—On thin ice

Jamie Bastedo’s—On thin ice

Ashley’s family have moved to the northern Canadian village of Nanurtalik where because of her mixed heritage, she doesn’t feel she fits in with the Inuit people in her village or at school. But vivid dreams of polar bears and storms confuse and frighten her. And when she looks into Uncle Jonah staring at her, she senses fear. Will she be able to overcome and interpret her dreams?

This is a beautifully written YA coming of age story about Ashley discovering her roots and purpose with a window into Inuit culture.
