No Time to Say Goodbye: Children's Stories of Kuper Island Residential School

This is one of the best stories I have read about the boarding school experience. Since the boarding school experience is told from the perspective of five different children - you get a wider view of the many aspects of what happened there. I would highly recommend it for middle school age children (or perhaps older elementary). It will appeal to children since it is told from a child's perspective and has engaging stories - like when one child plotted and carried out an escape plan. True to history, there are also heartbreaking experiences, although since they are told from a child's perspective they aren't graphic, which is better for the child reader. (But these are important to read yourself if you are an adult and discuss with your children.) This is one of those well-written stories that stays with you forever.

this is a really good book i loved it just awsome one. I think they should do another one about when our elders went through.
