Leon and Eloise are 13-year-old twins living In Matimekush, an Innu community in Northern Quebec. A decision is made. The…
entire Mckenzie family is moving to Wendake, near Quebec City. Leaving Matimekush, nature, their friends and their school is going to be quite a challenge for Eloise and Leon. Between the adaptation to this different world, their desire to make new friends and the need to keep their bond with the old ones, everything goes too fast. At school, a student bullies Eloise, and she has to deal with this difficult situation. As for Leon, he starts doubting his hockey skills: is he really talented or was he the best in Matimekush only because the competition simply wasn't as strong? In the midst of this storm, Leon and Eloise can always count on each other as well as their family and friends. The mystery unfolds on every page as we get to see the twins in a different light. What if, ultimately, life in the South isn't that different from life in the North?
