Here for you is my list of 100 great books for Canadian tween girls.
One of my favourite ways to experience history is through a story, so I began compiling a list of books about Canadian history. The girls and I have been studying Canadian history along with some fellow Vancouver homeschoolers this year.
North American Martyrs Kids Activity Book. If I Die Before I Wake: The Flu Epidemic Diary of Fiona Macgregor, Toronto, Ontario, 1918 is still to be recommended as a good, solid contribution to the Dear Canada series, although I do not consider it as enjoyable and as realistic as some of the other books of the series. However, the ending is a trifle too far-fetched, too unrealistic for my own personal tastes it rather turned the story into a standard Harlequin Romance type of tale and lessened my reading pleasure to an extent. And really, until the very end of the book, I was completely engrossed in Fiona's story, and as emotionally connected and satisfied as I usually am when reading the Dear Canada series. Some of the diary entries are simply heartbreaking, with the Macgreggor family first almost losing Fiona's twin sister to the Spanish Flu, and then actually losing one of the older daughters to the disease. Fiona is personable, a talented and observant budding writer, although also somewhat opinionated and mischievous (and quite aware of and honest about both her strengths and weaknesses, her laudable character traits, as well as her faults). With young Fiona Macgregor, author Jean Little has created a likable and winsome main narrator. If I Die Before I Wake: The Flu Epidemic Diary of Fiona Macgregor, Toronto, Ontario, 1918 is an enjoyable and emotionally engaging contribution to the Dear Canada series, although I would not call it a personal favourite.
