The great Inuit hunter Kiviuq sets out in search of food but becomes lost at sea. Armed with only quick thinking and determination, he battles everything he encounters, including a raging storm, massive ocean waves, and a group of fierce, evil mermaids. This picture book re-telling of a traditional Inuit myth is suitable as a read-aloud for grades 4-8 and can be used for creative writing activities, study of Inuit mythology, and oral history. As some images may be frightening for younger students, teachers should preview the title before use.
