Taikkua silakkut ullakpaktut [electronic resource] / Aviaq Jaanstan ; titiraujaqtuq Tuuma Vaisuu Gaas.
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.
