📚Check out the latest book review from Youth Ambassador Julia...

Wow! Just wow! This book is probably one of the best books I have ever read. The book is called Dear Dad by Laura Best published by Nimbus Publishing and Vagrant Press. This book was a hard book to get through but it is so important to learn about.

This book follows Sam, our main character as his dad goes through Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (also known as ALS) which is a degenerative disease that causes people to eventually die. Sam has known about the disease and his Dads wishes since the beginning but when a promise can’t be met, Sam does the unthinkable. I really think that this book is needed in today’s society because it talks about complex issues in a way that is easy for a young adult to understand. It dives into themes like Dying With Dignity which is a movement that encourages people who have a chronic illness to have the right to die the way they want.

"Everyone's favourite blue-nosed reindeer is back with another uniquely Nova Scotian Christmas adventure!

But a storm is gathering off the coast, and the lobster fishers haven't returned home with their haul yet. When the community's lighthouse goes out, the fishers have nothing to guide them home....and nothing to warn them of the big, jagged Jingle Bell Rock that looms between them and safe harbour.

The third installment in the bestselling series of illustrated early readers, this thrilling seasonal romp will instantly become a holiday tradition.
