| Publisher Description: Selected as a New York Public Library Book for the Teenage. In this powerful and captivating adventure novel set in Western Canada, W.J. Scanlan weaves the story of two very different rebellions -- the Riel Rebellion of 1885, and fifteen-year-old Jack Rawlins' personal rebellion against his war-hero father. Equally at home with the soldiers and families of Fort Carlton on the North Saskatchewan River and his M tis friends in the surrounding countryside, young Jack is faced with difficult choices as hotheads within the fort preach war against M tis and M tis leader Gabriel Dumont -- loyalties further tested when Jack mistakenly interprets his father's actions as cowardly. Will Jack fight with his friends the M tis and betray his own people? Rich with the history of the times, Rebellion is a remarkable coming of age novel -- a memorable, action-filled story of cowardice and courage in a time of war. |
