Leslie is new to the Arctic, and no one told her there would be so much
snow, and so many interesting animals to see. Along with her new friend,
Oolipika, Leslie soon discovers one the Arctic's most unique and
breathtaking natural wonders, the northern lights.
Having never seen such lights before, Leslie is understandably shocked
by them. Oolipika, on the other hand, knows that the ancient lights are
more than just colours, and that the mischievous, playful spirits that
the northern lights hold can be dangerous.
This contemporary narrative introduces young readers to an Inuit legend
about the northern lights, followed by an epilogue that explains the
science behind this amazing natural phenomenon.
