Customer Reviews

A good historical novel for young girls.

This book is the first about Angelique, a young Metis girl, in the Our Canadian Girl series. The Our Canadian girl books are about young fictional Canadian girls during different periods in history. It's 1865. Ten-year-old Angelique Dumas and her family are Metis, descended from French traders and the prairie natives. Most of the year, the Dumas family lives on a small farm. But twice a year, they join other Metis families for a large buffalo hunt. Now that Angelique is ten, she will have new responsibilities during the buffalo hunt. But as hard as Angelique tries to do a good job, she causes trouble when she wanders off and is lost in a buffalo stampede. Young girls who enjoy historical novels are sure to enjoy this and other books in the Our Canadian Girl series. Angelique is a likeable character and I enjoyed reading about the unique historical setting.
