Through the eyes of a 13 year old you get to experience the writers lovely tale, It is set in the top of the world and on Nunivak Island it is a Native Alaskan epic tale of adventure about a girl Miyax who narrates her life lost in the wild and how she was taken from her father Kapugen to attend school. Then went on to an arrange marriage at age of 13. To family in Barrow, she was fond of them at first till her husband tried to forced himself on her and her friend Pearl told her about running away which she did with her help and she found her self lost and made the most peculiar friendship with a pack of wolves (amaroq, kapu, silver, nails, zing, zat, zit, sister, Jello). Julie and Kapu create a bond with each other so strong it saves them both. This story was written as if it was told by an elder telling us stories they often forget and go back at different settings that all tie together. The illustrations look to be pencil.

Plot lost on the tundra.
