by Dawn Elizabeth Doyle (Author), Grade 7. &. 8. Class of Quluaq School (Illustrator), Dawn Doyle (Editor)

The Hip Hope Dancer is the true story of a young Inuit boy who lives on Baffin Island in Nunavut Canada. He learns how to hip hop dance when Canadian Floor Masters visit his hamlet. However, he has a problem: he can never finish a dance. He goes around town showing many groups of people his hip hop moves and no one can help him...until his drum-dancing grandfather tells him the truth. Drugs are affecting his mental health and ability to dance, so he must choose between them.
