Alone Allan Lacoursiere

In the 1950s, as various plagues rage through Northern Canada, five children from Eskimo Point are taken to a residential school far from home. Alornerk, the oldest of the five, promises to take care of the other children but soon he decides he cannot keep that promise if they remain at the Quallunaat school. Five children set out to cross all of Northern Canada to return to their villages and their families. Join Alornerk and the others on this journey of adventure, laughter and tragedy and learn why you cannot always go home.
