Description
Double Award Winning Graphic Novel 2014 Alberta Book Awards Children's/YA Book of the Year and Illustrated Book Award Winner.
The story follows the Loxleys, a Canadian family living in the Niagara peninsula as they're torn apart by the American invasion of Canada in 1812, and the subsequent war that raged across both countries as British troops, Canadian militia, and First Nation warriors sought to thwart the expansionist plans of the American government. The Loxley's take part in key historical events and they deal with the realities of the war on their doorstep, the personal loss, setbacks and victories tied into the conflict.
