Historical fiction (Children's/YA)
Natural Histories: Mammoth Mission
by Xavier-Laurent Petit
Description
Amouksan is the oldest living person in the world. She lives in Siberia, on the edge of the world, near the spirit realm. Nowadays, all she has left are memories, and three precious objects that have been given to her: a leather talisman, photographs, and a magnificent dress she has only worn once, a very long time ago. Her trapper father wished to have a son, so that he could teach him how to hunt deer in the winter, and salmon fishing in the summer. That is how he came to raise Amouksan as a boy. But that year, they discovered together a giant who came all the way back from the ice ages. A Mammoth. It will have them embark on the most incredible journey of their lives.
