Reviews
The Our Canadian Girl authors are clearly passionate about their stories -- something that shows to best effect in Kathy Stinson's smallpox story, Dark Spring.

Adults who associate Canada's history with stupefying tales of fur traders may want to join their kids in discovering the Our Canadian Girl series...
As with Stinson's previous writing, Dark Spring is infused with a warm tone, rich dialogue and believable situations.
