Guided by her grandfather, she embarks on a journey to hunt wild eggs, uncovering the secrets of the land and its culinary delights. As Akuluk learns the art of egg collecting, she realizes this is just the start of her Arctic adventure. Will she find more than she ever imagined in the vast, icy wilderness?

From the publisher

Akuluk is not excited about visiting her grandparents in Nunavut. She would rather head south for summer vacation, somewhere with roller coasters and cotton candy. There can’t be much to do way up there, Akuluk figures. But as soon as she steps off the plane and sees all the exciting animals that the tundra has to offer, Akuluk forgets all about her dreams of going south. On her first full day in Nunavut, she can’t wait to travel out on the land with her grandfather to hunt for wild eggs. As she learns about the different types of eggs, how to collect them properly, and the delicious meals that can be prepared with them, Akuluk knows that this is just the beginning of the exciting things she’ll learn about the Arctic.
