Description: "The author's pedagogical intention is wrapped in a lively family story. As the engagingly curious young heroine, Grace Severn, learns of the particular history, geography, and botany of the colony, she and her reader alike gain an awareness of and sympathy for its diverse population, including Mi'kmaq peoples, Acadian settlers, and African-American slaves and Loyalists, and the role in the settlement of Nova Scotia."--Gail Edwards and Judith Saltman, Picturing Canada, p. 21
