The first book in Isabelle Picard’s bestselling coming-of-age series about Innu twins, Léon and Éloïse.
In this acclaimed book, readers meet thirteen-year-old twins Léon and Éloïse who live in Matimekush, an Innu community in Northern Quebec.
While Léon spends all his free time playing hockey, and wondering how he can prove he has the talent to make it big in a place with no competition, Éloïse works on a school project that opens her mind to the history of her people — their victories and their battles lost.
But when their father gets sick and needs treatment almost 1000 km from home, and someone from their village mysteriously disappears, the twins learn lessons about the fragility of humanity and the dangers of the land they call home.
