"Kristen Hunt has created a fully immersive world, one of tribal legends, towns that breathe with mystery and attraction that comes with a high cost. Her descriptions of Alaska are keen and crisp, her prose light and youthful. Neiva Ellis is the kind of brave heroine that we've come to love in YA, and I can see middle-grade readers hungrily devouring this interesting saga of Eskimo myth, tradition, and romance." —Colleen Oakes, author of Queen of Hearts, Elly in Bloom, and Wendy Darling
“Blonde Eskimo is full of the rich heritage of a culture that most know little about. Ms. Hunt brings this culture to life with vivid descriptions and fascinating characters living a life most never imagined. The relationship between the characters is dynamic and strong, changing as the characters grow. The mystery surrounding Spirit will have the reader riveted to the page." —Examiner
“Kristen Hunt's Blonde Eskimo is a magical, mysterious, and romantic tale of discovering where you come from, who you are supposed to be, and who you want to be. Hunt displays an emotionally powerful array of the choices we must make when choosing our own destiny.”
—Jessica Stevens, author of Within Reach [spring 2016]
