Fatty Legs

by Christy Jordan-Fenton and Margaret Pokiak-Fenton
Lexile:  ???
Genre:  Memoir

Margaret is an Inuit girl growing up in the High Arctic.  She begs her father to let her go live with the "outsiders" so that she can go to school and learn to read.  Her father and older sister caution her that living with the "outsiders" is no easy thing.  But Margaret is determined.  She wants an education and is willing to sacrifice whatever she has to, to get one.
