Heavy Freight (Orca Soundings)

Product description Review "The East Hastings neighbourhood and the rolling geography of Canada are outstanding settings, so well done despite the short length of this novel for struggling readers. Dialogue is casual and colloquial, easily understood by the intended reader. Themes of survival, poverty and honesty will appeal to all middle school readers."-- "Resource Links" From the Inside Flap trains, fathers and sons, residential schools, cross-country, travel, abandonment, wrongfully accused From the Back Cover trains, fathers and sons, residential schools, cross-country, travel, abandonment, wrongfully accused About the Author Sigmund Brouwer is the author of over 20 novels for adults and dozens of books for children.
