Scout, The: Tommy Prince
Pamela, while searching for a well-hit baseball, encounters a veteran standing in front of a monument commemorating Sgt. Tommy Prince, the most decorated Aboriginal solider in Canadian history. The veteran gives Pamela an overview of his life as an expert marksman and tracker, and his contributions to WWII and the Korean War. This engaging graphic novel has effective and compelling illustrations. Useful as a literature circle or guided reading text; with teacher guidance also can provide opportunities for creative and critical thinking and in-depth discussion.
