The Middle of Everywhere

"Fifteen-year-old Noah leaves Montreal to spend a school term with his dad, a teacher in a small Inuit village in northern Quebec, and is quickly immersed in Inuit culture on an exhilarating winter camping trip."
"Noah spends a school term in George River, in Quebec's far north, trying to understand the Inuit culture, which he finds both threatening and puzzling."@en
"Noah Thorpe is spending the school term in'George River, in Quebec's Far North, where his dad is an English teacher in the Inuit community. Noah's not too keen about living in the middle of nowhere, but getting away from Montreal has one big advantage: he gets a break from the bully at his old school. But Noah learns that problems have a way of following you -- no matter how far you travel. To the Inuit kids, Noah is a qallunaaq'a southerner, 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 goes winter camping and realizes he will have to learn a few lessons from his Inuit buddies if he wants to make it home."
