The Tupilak- book review by Cara

Title: The Tupilak
Author: Kathryn White
Genre: A Mystery story told in flashback and recent past.
Plot Summery: Queena, an Inupiaq girl whom lives in Alaska, finds an Ivory carved object and her Grandmother thinks it is an evil object called a Tupilak. Many bad events start to happen to Queena and her Family. Queena’s Grandmother blames the so- called Tupilak and the rest of the family start a debate saying that all the events were just coincidences. Queena feels unhappy about the arguing and one day sets off to return the Tupilak, and hopefully the bad omens with it.
Favourite Character: Personally my favourite character is Queena’s Grandmother. She cares about the old days much more than the modern days. In Queena’s family she represents the old way of life, as she thinks life today in Alaska should be a replica of.
Most exciting events: The fire, one of the bad events that happened to Queena and her Family, as her feelings as described wonderfully, and you can picture the terrifying fire due to the fantastic description, and you can understand what the characters are going through.
I would recommend this book to: Friends and family for its great detail. Some of the bits could be improved slightly, in my opinion, but overall a fantastic story.
