YA Reviews from Resource Links
Just received the June issue of Resource Links and it features reviews for Shabash!, Reading the Bones, and Kickstart! Here are some highlights.
Shabash!
“Set in a mill town in British Columbia during the 1980s, Ann Wheeler realistically portrays the prejudices Rana both encounters and harbours toward the white community. Despite the fears and warnings from his father, who himself experiences prejudice from the white community at the mill where he works, Rana’s stubborn nature and grit determinism enable him to take on the challenge of being the first to build a bridge between the two groups. In doing so, he is made aware of his own prejudices.”
Reading the Bones
” … an interesting read and certainly presents some of the enigmatic allure of archaeology in enticing terms.”
Kickstart: How Successful Canadians Got Started
“The style is casual, well written and interesting. The text is filled with quotation marks imparting almost a personal feeling between reader and subject. Sure to pique reader’s interest. Very well done.”
