Ballad of Nancy April, The: Shawnadithit
Taking a shortcut home, Jessie is mysteriously transported through time to 19th century Newfoundland where she meets Shawnadithit, a young Beothuk woman who is the last of her people. This graphic novel presents many of the conflicts the Beothuk people had with Europeans explorers, which resulted in the extinction of the Beothuk. The detailed images help convey the mood and emotion of this thought-provoking novel. Offers many opportunities for creative and critical thinking, and could be a starting point for further inquiry and research.
