So, the other night I was showing my good friend Goodreads.com (a great site for book lovers! Check it out!) and as I was showing her the recommendation feature where the website recommends books for you to read based on your ratings, I almost had a heart attack. I saw the cover of a book that looked very much like a Dear America novel. "Oh great," I thought, "a book I missed and will have to add to my already gigantic list!" But I was mistaken. When I clicked on the image of the book the title read Dear Canada.
I quickly did some research. The Canadian division of Scholastic publishing started the Dear Canada series about ten years ago. Obviously from the the title you can guess that all of these books focus on historical events in Canadian history. I was very intrigued by the find and wonder has anyone else heard of Dear Canada? Also,
for those of you from other countries that might be reading this blog do you think a Dear [insert country here] series would be successful where you are from? Let me know!
So, alas my mission may not be as simple as I once thought. If I can get my hands on these books I might just have 28 more books to read!
uh oh :-P you have your work cut out for you... good luck!
