Publisher's Synopsis

On the heels of Miriam Körner's critically acclaimed first novel, Yellow Dog, comes the highly anticipated young adult adventure -- Qaqavii -- set amongst the unforgettable land and people of Canada's majestic North.

When 15-year-old Emmylou arrives in Churchill, Manitoba -- the Polar Bear Capital of the World -- all she can think about is getting out of town before she ends up on the wrong end of a polar bear dinner. But things are rarely what they seem in the North and Emmylou's outlook begins to change -- fast. First, she meets Barnabas, a young Inuk who is training dogs for the gruelling Arctic Quest -- a sled-dog race held at the edge of the Arctic. That's when she falls for the insatiable Qaqavii, an unruly puppy who doesn't quite fit into the dog team. But things really start to heat up when Emmylou gets a chance to race in the Arctic Quest herself, something that will surely turn her life upside down forever.
