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 Métis friends in the surrounding countryside, young Jack is faced with difficult choices as hotheads within the fort preach war against Métis and Métis leader Gabriel Dumont -- loyalties further tested when Jack mistakenly interprets his father's actions as cowardly.
Will Jack fight with his friends the Métis 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.
