    Joe, née Hélène, rêve de vivre en garçon comme Lady Oscar, son héroïne préférée. Elle partage sa vie avec trois sœurs, un père malheureux et une mère stricte. Elle habite un quartier populaire de Québec, où elle se lie d’amitié avec Monsieur Roger, un voisin bourru au grand cœur. Entre rêves d’exploits et défis du quotidien, Joe apprend que la vraie aventure, c’est peut-être simplement de grandir.

    Après un affrontement entre son clan et les Inuits, Maïna, fille du chef innu Mishtenapuu, part sauver Nipki, un garçon capturé. Ce voyage au cœur du Grand Nord devient une aventure marquée par l’amour, la découverte et les peuples fondateurs de l’Amérique.
