\nBook Summary:
\nLuke knows his I´\;nupiaq name is full of sounds white people can't say. He knows h e'll have to leave it behind when he and his brothers are sent to boarding school hundreds of miles from their Arctic village.
\nAt Sacred Hea rt School things are different. Instead of family\, there are students--Es kimo\, Indian\, White--who line up on different sides of the cafeteria lik e there's some kind of war going on. And instead of comforting words like& nbsp\;tutu \;and \;maktak\, there's English. Speaking I´\;nup iaq--or any native language--is forbidden. And Father Mullen\, whose fury is like a force of nature\, is ready to slap down those who disobey.
\nLuke struggles to survive at Sacred Heart. But he's not the only one. T here's smart-aleck Amiq\, a daring leader--if he doesn't self destruct\; C hickie\, blond and freckled\, a different kind of outsider\; and small qui et Junior\, noticing everything and writing it all down. Each has their ow n story to tell. But once their separate stories come together\, things at Sacred Heart School--and in the wider world--will never be the same.
