All Inuit know about the qalupaliit, strange creatures that live under the sea ice and carry away unsuspecting children on their backs. But when one bright young orphan strays too close to the ice, he soon learns that while qalupaliit may be very scary, they are also easily tricked.

The Qalupalik are the boogeymen of the Artic North, able to steal naughty children who venture too close to the water. In this tale. an orphan boy who has shabby clothes is at first caught because of his poor clothing but then able to trick the Qalupalik into leaving him alone for the same reason. Overall, this provides a cautionary tale and emphasizes the skill to think quickly. I appreciate that the beginning contains a pronunciation guide for those who do not speak the Inuktitut language. The illustrations are a bit spooky and appealing to those who like a bit of creepiness in their reading.
