Reviews
A mission of vengeance turns into a life-changing sojourn among the Inuit for an Icelandic lad in this opening episode of the Inuk Quartet. Angry young Leiv stows away on the ship of his father’s exiled killer, Thorstein, but before he can avenge the death the ship smashes against floating ice and he fetches up alone on the Greenland coast. Leiv is rescued by Inuit siblings Narua and Apuluk and adopted into their small, nomadic community. He and his new friends become inseparable, ultimately saving each other when they’re stranded on an ice floe and later again when attacked by a bear. Cann decorates nearly every page with formally posed watercolor images of Arctic wildlife and people in stylized settings. Though the translation from the original 1980 Danish edition isn’t entirely smooth, the tale flows along evenly to a climactic meeting with Thorstein—who turns out to be a wise, peaceable sort who melts away Leiv’s determination to fight—with a resolution sufficiently strong to allow the story to stand alone. Grades 4-6. --John Peters
