(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jozef Wilkon. Atuk, a young Inuit boy, vows revenge when his beloved husky is killed by a wolf, but his father tells him he is too young to hunt. After years of anger, he is finally big enough, but when the wolf lies dead beside him, Atuk realizes his victory is empty, for "nothing had changed." He later finds solace in befriending and protecting a delicate tundra flower. Moody illustrations accompany the pointed story.
