Histoire
Mia Tang has a lot of secrets. Number one: She lives in a motel, not a big house. Every day, while her immigrant parents clean the rooms, 10-year-old Mia manages the front desk of the Calivista Motel and tends to its guests. Number two: Her parents hide immigrants. And if the mean motel owner, Mr. Yao, finds out they've been letting them stay in the empty rooms for free, the Tangs will be doomed. Number three: She wants to be a writer. But how can she when her mom thinks she should stick to math because English is not her first language?

Histoire
Minni lives in the poorest part of Mumbai, where access to water is limited to a few hours a day and the communal taps have long lines. Lately, though, even that access is threatened by severe water shortages and thieves who are stealing this precious commodity—an act that Minni accidentally witnesses one night. Meanwhile, in the high-rise building where she just started to work, she discovers that water streams out of every faucet and there’s even a rooftop swimming pool. What Minni also discovers there is one of the water mafia bosses.

Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, he wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid—but his new classmates can’t get past Auggie’s extraordinary face.

Description
Narnia meets traditional Indigenous stories of the sky and constellations in an epic middle-grade fantasy series from award-winning author David Robertson.
Morgan and Eli, two Indigenous children forced away from their families and communities, are brought together in a foster home in Winnipeg, Manitoba. They each feel disconnected, from their culture and each other, and struggle to fit in at school and at their new home - until they find a secret place, walled off in an unfinished attic bedroom.
A portal opens to another reality, Askí, bringing them onto frozen, barren grounds, where they meet Ochek (Fisher). The only hunter supporting his starving community, Misewa, Ochek welcomes the human children, teaching them traditional ways to survive. But as the need for food becomes desperate, they embark on a dangerous mission.
Accompanied by Arik, a sassy Squirrel they catch stealing from the trapline, they try to save Misewa before the icy grip of winter freezes everything - including them.

Very captivating
I had to listen to this book as a board wide study, originally I wasn’t too thrilled as I don’t read very often. However when I started to read this I couldn’t put it down I can’t wait for book two.

Similar to Narnia but with Cree focus
Wonderful incorporation of Indigenous language and culture. Many similarities to the Chronicles of Narnia but better in many ways. A refreshing new voice with believable characters who are struggling with their cultural identity and place in the world after being in the foster system. Highly recommend.

bought as a novel study grade 6
I think what I like most about this book is the fact that it is read so beautifully. The speakers cadence feel s authentic. As a teacher it is nice to know that the words of the First Nations are being said and interpreted properly which is why I referred to it Ivan when teaching the children rather than me trying to say the words ineptly.

Okay
The plot is very simple. Everything is explained leaving little to think about. There’s a lot of Grimm fairytale in it. Is the writer mocking elders when the language formalizes and she slips into the stereotyped Wise One after having the protagonist complain about that?? Seems mocking.
