DEAR CANADA: North West Resistance

I have to admit that I just could not get into this one. I remember reading it when I got it and it being okay, but it's got several problems. The story is very slow-paced and extremely sad, but there's also the usual struggle I find with books written by Trottier. She provides a glossary, but that doesn't cover all the words used, and there's no pronunciation guide. It always bothers me when I have to read words over and over in the story and I have no idea how to say them. As this book involves multiple languages, this was very distracting to me, and the combination of all these problems made me just skim it, then set it aside.
