The middle of everywhere

Summary: "Fifteen-year-old Noah Thorpe is spending the school term in George River, In Quebec's Far North. The Inuit kids call Noah a Qallunaaq--the Inuktitut word for a non-Inuit person, someone ignorant of the customs of the North. Noah thinks the Inuit have a strange way of looking at the world, plus they eat raw meat and seal blubber. Most have never left George River--a town that doesn't even have its own doctor, let alone a McDonald's. But Noah's views change when he realizes he will have to learn a few lessons from his Inuit buddies if he wants to survive in the North."--p. [4] of cover.
