This fictional account of the experiences of five children is based on the recollections of Tsartlip First Nations people from the Saanich Peninsula on Vancouver Island. Government agents take the children to live at Kuper Island Residential School, where they are isolated and subjected to a harsh school routine. Despite loneliness and abuse, the children form friendships with other children and find adventure in this sometimes sad and sometimes funny story.
