TB - Booklist (Starred Review)

Oppel offers a grand adventure story that is firmly rooted in Canadian history but which is never limited by mere recorded facts. This vividly imagined, present-tense narrative features a series of heart-stopping action scenes involving dozens of memorable characters... An epic journey novel with a distinctive setting, a powerful sense of adventure, and just a whiff of steampunk.
