Joy of Apex

Joy is ten years old, living in
Apex, Nunavut—a suburb
of Iqaluit—and loving life. Her
little sister Allashua may be
annoying, but all in all Joy loves
living at the top of the world in
Apex.
But when Joy begins to
notice her parents fighting a lot
more than usual, and her mom
staying with her sisters in Iqaluit
more than she is home, Joy’s
perfect life soon becomes a lot
more complicated.
As Joy navigates her
parents’ separation and its
affect on her family, she learns
some valuable lessons about
how to cope when life gets
tough. Told in the wry, funny
voice of a smart and savvy tenyear-
old girl, this book will appeal to young readers everywhere.
