Description
Based on a traditional Inuit legend, this graphic novel introduces readers to a dark and twisted creature that haunts the Northern landscape and preys on unsuspecting children...
“. . . [S]plendid storytelling, horrific in its content but wise in its consul.”
“[The illustrations] capture the mysterious dark content of the tale and feature sweeping majestic but somber landscapes.”
“An Inuit legend in graphic novel form!”
“Atmospheric, painterly illustrations complement the text. The graphic novel layout works well, setting a good pace, and increasing tension as needed...A beautiful, accessible tale”
