Inhabit Media Inc Inuunira: My Story of Survival
Book SynopsisKirkus Best Teen & YA Nonfiction of 2022 "An unforgettable physical and emotional journey." —★ Kirkus, STARRED review In this harrowing survival story, Brian Koonoo takes off on a hunting trip in Canada’s Arctic. After his snowmobile breaks down, his GPS loses signal, and his camping fuel runs low, he is left alone to survive for seven days. Inuunira is an Inuktitut term that means "how I'm alive," and this account shows exactly how Brian managed to stay alive. He experiences close encounters with planes, blizzards, and hunger, all while much of his gear is lost. Walking 60 kilometres in search of safety, he uses the knowledge his father and Elders taught him—modern and traditional means of navigation, finding water, making shelters, and keeping his spirits up—to continue on. With photos, illustrations, and diagrams throughout, readers are sure to be inspired by this story of strong will and hope.Trade Review"An unforgettable physical and emotional journey." —★ Kirkus, STARRED review "Koonoo artfully crafts an adventurous read that is equal parts appreciation for nature and Indigenous culture, and thrilling survival story."—Publishers Weekly "One strength of this narrative is the author’s emphasis on the traditional knowledge that enabled him to survive his ordeal when his modern conveniences (radio phone, snowmobile, sleeping bag) failed him."—Booklist "This true survival story showcases two powerful themes: man against nature, and traditional versus modern...Drawings, photos, and other illustrations significantly add understanding to the descriptions of the instruments and tools used by the author...This title will have particular significance for Canadians, those interested in Inuit culture, and survival enthusiasts."—School Library Connection "Koonoo’s story of survival will engage children of many ages...The story is well worth the read and can teach a great deal about the incredible knowledge and culture of Koonoo’s people and their life-saving traditions. Highly Recommended."—CM: Canadian Review of Materials

Annick Press Ltd That's Not Hockey!
Book SynopsisThe legendary goalie who revolutionized the game of hockey. Young Jacques Plante’s way of playing hockey may look different from everyone else’s. Instead of a puck, he uses a tennis ball, and his shin pads are made out of potato sacks and wooden slats. But that’s not going to stop him. He loves the game. Jacques is drafted by the Montreal Canadiens in his mid-twenties. Fans love the unstoppable goalie as he leads his team to one victory after another. But there’s a price to pay: pucks to the face result in a broken jaw, broken cheekbones, multiple stitches, and even a skull fracture. One day, Jacques has had enough. He goes on the ice wearing a fiberglass mask. The coach orders him to take it off. Finally, at a game against the New York Rangers, when yet another puck hits Jacques square in the face, he puts his foot down. He will not continue to play unless he’s allowed to wear a mask. Young hockey fans will enjoy this story of Jacques Plante, whose determination and love of the game brought about a revolutionary change to how it is played.
