Reviews
"Aviaq Johnston’s graphic novel The Haunted Blizzard draws readers into a chilling tale of mystery and unease. The story follows a young girl, Nita, sent home when school closes due to a blizzard. Along the way, her grandmother warns her the storm is filled with dark forces, but Nita brushes off the caution and continues home alone. As the storm rages, Nita soon realizes she should have heeded her grandmother’s words—something sinister is lurking in the blizzard. Johnston blends suspense with cultural wisdom in this gripping, forty-page story that leaves readers on edge and eager for more." -  Debra H., Elementary School Teacher, Indigenous Books for Schools
