Whispers in the Ice

About this book

Eleven-year-old Nuna Iqaluk prefers to blend into the snowy background of Aningaaq, a remote Arctic hamlet, still haunted by a past mistake that cost her beloved uncle his home. But when a fierce late-winter storm unearths suspicious government barrels on the beluga hunting grounds, Nuna's sharp eye for patterns tells her something is deeply wrong. As the local wildlife falls ill and a slick new regional administrator tries to cover up the truth with promises of a high-tech solar research outpost, Nuna realizes the adults will not listen. Teaming up with her radio-operator cousin and a weather-obsessed younger girl, Nuna must navigate treacherous sea ice, blinding whiteouts, and dangerous security teams to uncover a massive environmental cover-up. In a four-week race against time leading up to the spring equinox celebration, Nuna must find the courage to break her silence and protect her tight-knit community from irreversible harm.
