In this version retold by Neil Christopher, long ago there was a poor orphan who did not have a family to care for him. The children in the camp teased the boy and would not play with him. One day an ogress captured many of the children because they failed to notice the monster. She placed the children in a large basket. But the orphan saw what was happening and quickly worked out a plan to save the camp children. The boy was successful and the children promised they would never tease the orphan boy again. The book contains a glossary about this Inuit monster. Colour illustrations are cartoon-like making the story accessible for primary level readers. Highly recommended.
