So real, I felt like part of the tribe

This book got me right into the Inuit culture, which is very foreign to me, but it still captured the emotions of any girl's coming of age story. Lots of great details, both historical and cultural, and on top of that, an endearing romance as well. Minik's Story had me engaged from cover to cover.
